Home security camera maker Wyze confirmed earlier today that an online security issue that happened late last week caused 13,000 camera owners to briefly see images of other people’s homes
Wyze, which sells a lineup of popular and affordable self-install smart home security cameras, is doing some damage control today. It has been revealed that an online outage spawned a security issue that briefly allowed a number of Wyze camera owners to see images and video from the homes of other Wyze camera users.
In a post today on the company’s support forums (via 9to5Google) Wyze revealed the contents of several emails that were sent to the company’s customers over the weekend. The emails stated that on Friday, an issue with Wyze’s cloud system partner Amazon Web Services caused an outage on its camera on February 16 that lasted several hours.
