I'm done with Wyze.

Wyze knew hackers could remotely access your camera for three years and said
nothing.

For the past three years, Wyze has been fully aware of a vulnerability in
its home security cameras that could have let hackers look into your home
over the internet - but chose to sweep it under the rug. And the security
firm that found the vulnerability largely let them do it.

According to the security research firm's own disclosure timeline (PDF), it
reached out to Wyze in March 2019 and didn't even get a response until
November 2020, a year and eight months later. Yet Bitdefender chose to keep
quiet until just yesterday.

In case you're wondering, no, that is not normal in the security community.

But it does move! -- Galileo Galilei
