Pedos watching the kids play in the pool or backyard slip N slide

Proof?

A small group of people are overreacting about this because of a youtuber. First they said it was a "major breach" and now steadily everyone is backpedaling and realizing no data was compromised.

So Eufy put up disclosures about push notifications for thumbnails and modified the way their web portal worked. For most of us that is enough. Especially for external monitoring. Most of us on slickdeals bought these to avoid the subscription fee and Eufy works great for that.

This is true. Even employees at Anker (sister company of Eufy) could be potentially predators and watching this stuff. You would have no idea, and the companies are going to do their best to keep doing this without you knowing by encrypting the traffic so no one knows they are sending your image. Do you trust every single employee at Anker and Eufy with access to this stuff to not be a predator or pedophile? Glad to see that the community is keeping people aware of the risks this device and all devices from ANKER and Eufy pose.

Linus Tech Tips did a video on this.

please do link it. I can't find it. i only saw his video about dropping eufy sponsorship. i'm curious if Nest and Ring leaks their feed.

Unfortunately Linus's team misinterpreted information AGAIN and doubled down. I highly doubt Linus himself even watched this video.
1) In my video I talked about the images that Paul Moore reported on that are hosted on Amazon CloudFront. Those images cannot be brute forced and use x-amz-signatures which are not generated based on any serial number or predicable data. Linus conflated that issue with a completely separate report about RTMP video feed URLs, which I didn't speak about at all during my video because not enough information has been released for me to have an informed opinion.
2) The main reason I said it wasn't unexpected for Paul Moore to find images on the cached CDN after account deletion is because those images expire on their own after 24 hours and are in a temporary cache, and that we would only expect S3 bucket data to be effected by account deletion. I threw in the 30 day GDPR argument as an aside, but Linus clung to it instead of focusing on the main point.
3) Their main rebuttal was "Hey, we can't tell you who told us this, and we haven't confirmed it for ourselves, but some guy says he was able to do some other bad stuff". No information released, no redacted PoC, nothing. Hitchens's Razor says "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."
4) They keep yelling about how none of the technical details matter because the real issue is that Eufy marketing lied about local control. In no way am I excusing the false advertising, but misrepresentation of technical facts ARE important. There's a big difference between a bad actor being able to pull up any video feed they want at any time vs. spending days to brute force a single image CDN URL. There's also a big difference between sending data to the cloud to provide a requested service vs sending data to the cloud to sell to a 3rd party.

This was a better video that actually looked at how this works and debunked most of the security claims. It's why most people are now moving the goalposts to the marketing claims:

Personally I'm more concerned about Apple and Google that are tracking and that provide my personal data to my own government without a warrant.
And if you don't like "Chinese" companies, just remember who sent our jobs there, it's the boomer/greatest generation who sent the work overseas starting in the late 70's so they could make money off the cheap labor and the stock market.
So, dear boomers of the world, don't tell anyone younger who they shouldn't purchase from, you have done enough damage already.https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gifhttps://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gif

This is for outdoor, what's the concern about security and such? Perhaps I'm missing out. So far I prefer Eufy than Wyze, Reolink, Arlo, Foscam and other non-brand cameras I have tried.

i thought he had some good points until 7:50 mark when he basically brushes off the claim about unencrypted video streams playable via VLC because he couldn't confirm any valid claims. i believe The Verge was able to independently verify that their camera feed was viewable via VLC player.

Not only has the verge walked back their claim that the RTMP stream was generated by motion events (now they are saying only by waking the camera with the sync button), but they say the method they used to obtain the RTMP address is no longer valid.
