"Wyze Camera Glitch Gave 13,000 Users a Peek Into Other Homes"

Wyze recently shared more details on a security incident that impacted thousands of users recently and said that at least 13,000 customers could get a peek into other users' homes.  The company blames a third-party caching client library recently added to its systems, which had problems dealing with a large number of cameras that came online all at once after a widespread outage that occurred on 2/16.  The company noted that multiple customers reported seeing other users' video feeds under the Events tab in the app since Friday.  Wyze has yet to share the exact number of users who had their video surveillance feeds exposed in the incident.  The company noted that it has now added an extra layer of verification for users who want to access video content via the Events tab to ensure that this issue will not happen in the future.  Additionally, the company claimed that it adjusted systems to avoid caching during user-device relationship checks until it can switch to a new client library capable of working correctly during "extreme events" like the Friday outage.
