The world\'s first Johnsonware attack\...\
\
\"A hacker took control of people\'s internet-connected chastity cages and demanded a ransom to be paid in Bitcoin to unlock it.\
\
\"Your cock is mine now,\" the hacker told one of the victims, according to a screenshot of the conversation obtained by a security researcher that goes by the name Smelly and is the founder of vx-underground, a website that collects malware samples.\
\
In October of last year, security researchers found that the manufacturer of an Internet of Things chastity cage---a sex toy that users put around their penis to prevent erections that is used in the BDSM community and can be unlocked remotely---had left an API exposed, giving malicious hackers a chance to take control of the devices. That\'s exactly what happened, according to a security researcher who obtained screenshots of conversations between the hacker and several victims, and according to victims interviewed by Motherboard.\
\
A victim who asked to be identified only as Robert said that he received a message from a hacker demanding a payment of 0.02 Bitcoin (around \$750 today) to unlock the device. He realized his cage was definitely \"locked,\" and he \"could not gain access to it.\"\
