Security News > 2021 > January > ChastityLock ransomware targeted men's Bluetooth chastity belt
Following the disclosure, an attacker started targeting Qiui Cellmate mobile app users who controlled the smart toy and locked the chastity device.
Victims were asked to pay 0.02 bitcoins, around $270 at the time of the attacks.
The founder of the VXUnderground research group told BleepingComputer that they published the source code for ChastityLock ransomware after receiving it from someone who got it from the attacker.
From screenshots seen by BleepingComputer, the attacker engaged victims after locking the chastity devices they controlled.
The attacker also mocked victims when they asked what had happened, saying that they used magic to take control of the smart adult toy.
Cutting the hardened steel used for the lock required an angle grinder, and given the sensitive area, this was far from an option for victims.
