Wyze Camera Outage Exposes Videos from Thousands of User Accounts
• Wyze smart camera outage on Feb 17 led to security breach where 13,000 users saw thumbnails from cameras not their own
• 1,504 users tapped thumbnails, enlarging images and sometimes viewing videos from wrong cameras
• Wyze blamed a 3rd party caching library that mixed up device IDs during high demand as cameras came back online
• To prevent recurrence, Wyze added verification check before connecting users to videos
• Wyze notified all affected users; 99.75% of accounts unaffected by the security event
