Wyze in the news today, o boy…

@timothynott

I work for software security companies, and have for years. This is the number one way they tell you to evaluate a company’s security - how they disclose and protect their users of breaches, regardless of how it makes them look in the moment.

That’s a really good point. When I did my initial investigation into Wyze, I was actually impressed with the work they were doing – especially in comparison to other companies that I had looked into. Discreet security certs on each device was light years ahead of the failures I ahd seen from supposedly trusted brands. But, when a mistake does happen, we need to know immediately so we can take protective actions.

Our cameras are at risk for being hacked, especially 1st gen

So interesting article (link at the bottom) and I have to say I am deeply disappointed that with as open as Wyze has been, they did not tell us of this happening and for three years before they decided to fix it. Plus all us first customers with first gen cameras will have to buy all new cameras because the older ones won’t get a patch fix as they are no longer supported. I have 6 first version cameras. Maybe a new company is in my future. Wyze confirms cameras were vulnerable to strangers watch…
