Oh wow, there’s so much to unpack in this video by @LewSpears. Maybe just start by watching it (it’s hilarious, but probably NSFW so wait until you get hom... oh, yeah)
This relates to the research my mate @TheKenMunroShow from @PenTestPartners did on the chastity lock vulnerability last year:
Subsequently, @lorenzofb did a story eloquently titled “Your Cock Is Now Mine” in response to @LewSpears reaching out to him in the earlier video and pretending to have had his wedding tackle cyber’d.
I’ll stand by the earlier description - it’s hilarious - but I’ll also add that despite assertions to the contrary, @lorenzofb is an absolute top notch infosec journo I’ve done many, many stories with and have a lot of respect for. Definitely one of the good ones.
Which brings me to Poe’s Law: “without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied”
I fell for the story too because it’s totally believable. And that’s what makes this such a wonderful, exciting industry when shit gets so crazy that even the way out made up stuff seems entirely feasible. What a time to be alive 😊
