The sex robot craze has swept the globe, with punters willing to fork out the cash to have their wicked way with the dolls.

But tech experts have warned that the more advanced these robots get, the greater the risk they will pose to mankind.

Cyber security lecturer Dr Nick Patterson worryingly said that hacking into a sex robot could even be easier than gaining access to someone’s laptop or phone.

“The last thing you want is for a hacker to have control over one of these robots! Once hacked they could absolutely be used to perform physical actions for an advantageous scenario or to cause damage.”
