"Security Breach: 13,000 Wyze Customers Given Access to Others' Homes"
TL;DR Summary
Smart camera company Wyze experienced a security breach last week due to a glitch with its AWS cloud service, allowing about 13,000 users to see footage from other users' security cameras. The breach was attributed to a third-party caching client library that mixed up device and user IDs during a surge in demand, leading to incorrect data connections. Wyze has added new safeguards to prevent a recurrence and has notified affected users, emphasizing that the majority of accounts were not impacted.
