Japanese hotel chain HIS Group has apologised for ignoring warnings that its in-room robots were hackable to allow pervs to remotely view video footage from the devices.
The Henn na Hotel is staffed by robots: guests can be checked in by humanoid or dinosaur reception bots before proceeding to their room.
Facial recognition tech will let customers into their room and then a bedside robot will assist with other requirements. However several weeks ago a security researcher revealed on Twitter that he had warned HIS Group in July about the bed-bots being easily accessible
...The vulnerability allows guests[unauthorized users] to gain access to cameras and microphones in the robot remotely so they could watch and listen to anyone in the room
...The HIS Group tweeted: "We apologize for any uneasiness caused," according to the Tokyo Reporter.

Those Japs are some horny bastards. Way back when I went there I was told they had hotels that played background noise in the phone. If you told your wife you were going bowling you could have a bowling ally sound in the background so you could call home.

Now that’s a hell of an accommodation.
