So much for keeping us safe. Bitdefender recently put out a research paper showing that Wyze’s home security cameras have had some major security flaws in them for a while.
The Bitdefender whitepaper detailed three main vulnerabilities that allowed hackers to control the camera remotely, letting them turn it on and off, disable recording, and even access the contents of the SD card. At least the live audio and video feed was encrypted, so hackers wouldn’t be able to watch you in your home in real time. The worst part about this is that Wyze knew about this for nearly three years since Bitdefender’s disclosure timeline said they contacted Wyze twice in March 2019.
