"Report Reveals Major Security Flaws in Popular Video Doorbells Sold by Retailers"

Consumer Reports found security vulnerabilities in video doorbells sold by various retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, which could expose users to hackers. The doorbells, made by little-known brands Eken and Tuck, have issues such as exposing home IP addresses, allowing unauthorized access to camera footage, and lacking necessary registration codes. Consumer Reports called for new rules to hold online retailers accountable and urged the Federal Trade Commission to stop the online sales of these doorbell cameras. Walmart has removed the cited items from its site and is offering refunds, while Amazon and Shein have not yet responded to requests for comment.
