UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE - Wyze Cam flaw lets hackers remotely access your saved videos ( * if they can gain access to your local network/WiFi )

Polar opinions? Compatible? Unrelated?

It’s mostly a non-story. If you have a normal home router or cable company router or anything similar (and you don’t share WiFi with hostile neighbors), don’t give it a second thought. You are safe. Really.

@Customer

It works if someone can reach your camera’s port 80. No one in the world can do that if you have a home router. Period.

@timothynott

NAT is a zero-security solution. Get a router with a firewall or assume you are going to be hacked.
