Wyze Camera Glitch Allowed Some Users to Briefly Access Strangers' Feeds
• Some Wyze camera owners were able to briefly see and get notifications from strangers' home cameras due to a security issue caused by a recent AWS outage and overloaded servers.
• Wyze co-founder David Crosby confirmed 14 instances where users could see thumbnails of other owners' cameras in the Events tab before that tab was taken down.
• Affected users were not able to view live streams, only thumbnails in the Events tab.
• Wyze has forcibly logged out all recent Wyze app users to reset tokens and promises to notify affected users and explain how this happened to prevent future occurrences.
• This swift acknowledgment of the security issue contrasts with Wyze's previous 3-year silence about a 2019 camera vulnerability revealed to them by Bitdefender.
