Default Wyze was aware of a major camera security flaw for three years

Tech companies don't always disclose security flaws in a timely fashion, but Wyze apparently didn't disclose one at all. As Bleeping Computer and The Verge explain, Bitdefender has revealed that it informed Wyze of a major security vulnerability in the Wyze Cam v1 in March 2019, but that the device maker didn't inform customers, recall the product or fully patch the problem in the three years since. In fact, Wyze couldn't completely fix the issue — while it did mitigate the problem with patches, it's now clear the company discontinued the camera in January as "hardware limitations" prevented a proper update.
