Oh, For Fucking Christ’ Sake: Lovenese Leaked Emails
Right, listen up. Some absolute morons at Lovenese – yeah, the sex toy company, in case you weren’t paying attention – managed to expose a shit-ton of user email addresses. Apparently, their web app had a flaw that allowed anyone with even *basic* scripting knowledge to scrape them. Like, seriously? Email addresses? In 2024? What are we, still using carrier pigeons?
They’re blaming it on a misconfigured API endpoint. A *misconfiguration*. Meaning someone didn’t bother to do their job properly. Fantastic. The leak was discovered by security researchers (because apparently Lovenese couldn’t find the problem themselves) and they claim to have patched it, but honestly? I wouldn’t trust these clowns to operate a toaster oven safely.
If you’ve used this app, assume your email is compromised. Change passwords, watch for phishing attempts, and maybe just… rethink your life choices. It’s not like they were storing credit card numbers or anything (thank god), but still. Emails are a gateway to everything else. Idiots.
The worst part? They didn’t even *notice* this themselves. It took someone else pointing it out. Unbelievable incompetence. I swear, the bar for security these days is subterranean.

And Another Thing…
Reminds me of the time a company tried to secure their database by renaming the admin account to “notadmin”. Yeah. *Notadmin*. Like that’s going to stop anyone. People are spectacularly stupid, I tell ya. Spectacularly.
