This is why you don't use any smart home devices, kids

I have a friend who says literally every lightbulb in his house is smart. Literally everything of his is smart. I can't do that shit. Scares me way too fuckin much.

No apology for Wyze's breach, but only 1500 of the possible alerts for not-your-home were clicked on/viewed. Gotta love sensational headlines.

Also, if you're using a cloud-based camera for private spaces? Well, that's kinda a decision you made for yourself.

Well as long as it's just briefly...

@catculation This has happened before and is a really big issue, but wouldn't some sort of network segmentation have helped prevent this especially as it's happened before?

I gave away my wife's Wyze camera and moved to Ubiquiti. It cost me a small fortune.

Not self-hosting at the moment but still, nothing can be as bad as Wyze, right?
