We all know regular terrorism is pretty damn scary, but, of course, the Japanese had to kick it up another level with toilet terrorism! You read that right. As I'm typing this, innocent people's butts, in Japan, may have already fallen prey to toilet terrorism.
You see, in Japan, toilets are these magical, amazing, awesome things. They have heated seats, bidet spray, music, fragrance release, butt driers, automatic lids (for days), automatic flushing, they even have fake flushy noises to help cover up any sounds that, you know, you might find embarrassing.
The luxury toilets (manufactured by Japanese firm Lixil), have wireless controls that you can access via an app on your Android smartphone. The Android application is called My SATIS.
Sounds somewhat surprising and possibly over complicated, but, very recently, an amazing little tidbit was revealed. Amazing in a bad way. The problem lies in the security PIN the SATIS toilet app uses to sync the toilet because the PIN code for every model is hardwired to be four zeros (0000).
You'd think it'd be like ones and twos, you know, like poops and peepees.
Anyone with the app can easily input that PIN into their phone, and gain control of any SATIS toilets within range.
Once the toilet terrorists gain control of nearby toilets, they can wreck all sorts of havoc including: spraying water all over the bathroom, blasting unsuspecting users with hot air in their no-no-zone, frequently flipping the lid open and close, and flushing the toilet repeatedly - which can drive up water bills, and drive the users crazy.
This isn't my idea of fun at all, lol.
