You know all those IP cameras that no one ever encrypts, and you can easily find with a Google search, akso sometimes you can even control them. Well, that’s what your doorbell is.
Given the fact that some people put cameras up in their bedrooms this is a major problem and almost certainly has led to blackmail, but we won’t find out about that obviously because you don’t admit that you’ve been blackmailed otherwise it defeats the purpose of paying them off.
Tbh, I thought that was resolved. From what I can tell, it was. While a vulnerability like that is damning, it seems that they patched their web portal where the bug was and it was the end of it.
That was their claim yeah, but think about it, If it was end-to-end encrypted they shouldn’t even have the unencrypted video to expose on the web. Where did they get that from? The whole thing should sit encrypted on their servers until you decide to watch it, they shouldn’t have any access to it.
Definitely not arguing with you. It should be encrypted as they said. There was an issue with the live stream of the cameras being available. For me, it was doorbell. No harm, no foul to me. Saved videos were still encrypted. Doesn’t make it ok.
They handled it poorly. But I do believe it has been patched based on their eventual response to the issue.
At the end of the day, I was asking as I thought another event had happened.
I got all of my info from the verge printing Eufy’s (eventual) response.
Damn it. What happened with Eufy? I like my doorbell.

Some found out that the camera feed isn’t e2e encrypted (eufy claimed they were) so you could see other people cameras
