But we still don’t know what’s actually encrypted
“To our eufy Security Customers and Partners.” Unfortunately, it contains no apology, and doesn’t begin to address why anyone would be able to view an unencrypted stream in VLC Media Player on the other side of the country, from a supposedly always-local, always-end-to-end-encrypted camera.
Today, users can still log in to our eufy.com Web portal to view live streams of their cameras. However, users can no longer view live streams outside of eufy’s secure Web portal. Anyone wishing to view these links must first log in to the eufy.com Web portal.
The post also addresses some other concerns that security researchers have raised, like how Eufy was uploading thumbnails from its cameras, including pictures of faces, to the cloud without making users aware, so that it can deliver push notifications. Anker says those images are protected with end-to-end encryption, and reiterates that it’s now making customers aware that they have a choice of local or cloud push notifications in an updated version of its app.
Beyond the thumbnails and the unencrypted streams, are there any other private data or identifying elements that Eufy’s cameras allow access to via the cloud?
