"Resuming Access: Wyze Security Cameras Back Online After Service Outage"

Wyze security cameras experienced an outage, preventing users from accessing their smart home devices and apps, with reports of issues starting as early as 4AM ET. As of just before 1PM ET, many Wyze owners reported their devices were back online, with the company confirming the restoration and ongoing investigation into an issue with the Events Tab. The problem was attributed to an issue with their AWS partner, impacting device connection and causing login difficulties. Wyze has faced previous privacy incidents, including a 2019 data breach and a security flaw, and has not yet provided details on the cause of the recent problem.
