Social Eufy security concerns
Despite claims of only using local storage with its security cameras, Eufy has been caught uploading identifiable footage to the cloud. And it's even possible to view the camera streams using VLC, with no encryption at all. After months of playing down concerns, Anker finally admitted to cameras not being natively end-to-end encrypted, and that cameras could create unencrypted videos that were accessible through the cloud.
