"Wyze Camera Breach Exposes 13,000 Users' Feeds to Strangers"
TL;DR
A recent outage at Wyze led to the cameras of 13,000 customers being semi-accessible to other accounts due to a third-party caching client library glitch, with over 1,500 users tapping on the thumbnails from other users. This isn't the first time Wyze has had such issues, as a similar problem occurred last year and a security flaw was confirmed in 2022. To prevent future incidents, Wyze has added a new layer of verification before users are connected to event videos and modified its system to bypass caching for checks on user-device relationships.
