Anker admits their camerass were unencrypted all along

We recently blogged about Anker and Ring stuff. But now, Anker who denied that their cameras were recording anything is now admitting it, according to Security camera warning: This brand is missing a key privacy feature which was posted to kim komando’s site on February 1, 2023.

Part of one paragraph which was covered on Security Now and even on TSB says:

Security researchers found that Eufy uploaded footage from cameras to the cloud, even though the owners didn’t have a cloud subscription. To make the situation worse, anybody with a VLC video player could watch streams from these cameras if they knew (or correctly guessed) the URL.

We know this much, their PR didn’t do all that great in its first response.

Under the heading “More reliable home security” they say they’re going to go to web RTC which is more secure.

There are links to things within this article, but this is going to be quite interesting. Someone ping me to make sure we cover this on Saturday and or next Wednesday.

Its about time they come out and explain what is really going on, maybe a little late. The article is short, but its worth the read.
