"Wyze Cameras: Investigating Ongoing Security Issues Allowing Users to See Strangers' Feeds"

TL;DR Summary
Wyze camera owners experienced a security issue that allowed some users to see thumbnails of cameras that were not their own in the Events tab, following an outage caused by an Amazon Web Services problem. The company has confirmed the issue, identified 14 incidents, and taken down the Events tab. Wyze is notifying affected users, forcibly logging out recent app users to reset tokens, and investigating the cause to prevent future occurrences. This incident comes after Wyze's previous handling of a security flaw in its Wyze Cam v1 model, which was not disclosed to customers or fixed until three years later.
