What is up with the data breach?

[nerdland]

They refreshed all login tokens globally, as a precautionary measure. See here for the latest official updates

Thanks for posting such a detailed response and keeping us up to date. I hope the 2FA issue calms down for you soon and you get to the bottom of what prompted this scare.

When will we be able to log in? Is the “invalid phone number” going to be fixed?!

It explains that as a precaution Wyze logged everyone out & forced new api keys. The login servers are being overloaded by 2 million users trying to set new password.

I was just signed out of my account… had to change my password to get back into it… Sure hope this is just a joke and not a real hack…

As a security precaution they reset all the login tokens. Further info can be found below

Wyze Massive Data Leak

FWIW … regardless of Wyze actions, this still feels a bit “leaky.” I’ve disabled all my cameras, as in powered them down. Time to re-evaluate.

[Kilnermaze]

I don’t recall having that setup on my account and I cannot log in at this time. “Please enter a valid number” error even after resetting my password.

[WyzeJasonJ]

Info can be found below, but the cause is everyone trying to log in since the log in tokens were reset

Only you can decide what is best for you , so do what you think is best

After logging into the app, a notification of an “Important System Update” is being displayed.

[kevinjdoherty1]

Doesn’t anyone think that this is kind of fishy?
Height, Weight, Gender, Bone Density, Bone Mass, Daily Protein Intake, and other health information for a subset of users as some of the data that was exposed?

@kevinjdoherty1

Doesn’t anyone think that this is kind of fishy?

As of yet the alleged breach has not been verified. The official information can be found here

[kevinjdoherty1]

I agree, but what I’m trying to figure out is how does Wyze know how much I weigh, and how much protein I eat. Maybe I am kind of cynical, but that last line screams to me of trolling. Maybe I’m wrong. I really don’t know.

[nerdland]

If verified to be true, I assume that would be related to hardware testers for the Wyze Scale.

[WyzeJasonJ]

@nerdland beat me to it but yes I am guessing those are items for the scale test

[kevinjdoherty1]

Hadn’t thought of that. Kind of off my radar.

[kevinjdoherty1]

Maybe I am just getting old and tired.

[kevinjdoherty1]

At least I can still turn off my lights with the Alexa app. I have no cameras but I’m not sure that I remember how to use a light switch, and I’d hate to have to ask my wife how to do that. Hoping when I get up for with on the morning all will be right in the world again.

After reading the entire IPVM post an report, this seams pretty bad and more than just alleged. They even provided screen shots the accessible data from one of their own employees as proof of the breach. I also didn’t know about the lawsuit they mentioned.
