I get that Wyze just had an AWS downage but this seems like a massive privacy violation, ![428226536_1111749003182328_1195573268669106754_n](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/f/e/fe27c7d0ad447a2d0d4dc993398cb786635369c3.jpeg) ---

If I remember correctly, this isn’t the first time Wyze has had this problem. Not too long ago weren’t some people able to see other people’s cameras through Web View? ---

Realistically Wyze Should STOP ALL development of the Web Viewew and terminate it completely They are inviting the hacker community to take the bait as the Web is the easy part/sector to hack. Installable Wyze App is propriatary LOT less risk of being hacked The Web is not! Lots more hacking tools available to hack web sites ---

Yes, I will do that When I heard about Wyze developing a Web interface to access My first thought is, it is only a matter of time before their systems are hit, and customers cameras are accessed. The other problem this brings to the table, for Wyze Is lawsuits. They are opening Pandora’s Box by developing a Web Viewer interface. 👍 I ---
