I’m not advising anyone to commandeer bedside hotel robots in order to spy on unwitting guests and curse the night with supernatural televisual activity.
On October 11th, four years after the launch of the grand robot hotel experiment by Japan’s Henn na Hotel chain, security engineer Lance R. Vick tweeted an unsettling image of one of the hotel’s smart home-enabled bedside eggs.
AdvertisementVick told Gizmodo that he’d informed the hotel and asked whether they had a bug bounty program or disclosure policy.
Lance R. Vick: On July 6th, I was staying in the Maihama Tokyo Bay robot hotel because robots are fun, and it is close to Disney.
Gizmodo has reached out to Henn na Hotel Maihama Tokyo Bay and will update the post if we hear back.
