Eufy, the company behind a series of affordable security cameras I’ve previously suggested over the expensive stuff, is currently in a bit of hot water for its security practices.But over the turkey-eating holiday, a noted security researcher across the pond discovered a security hole in Eufy’s mobile app that threatens that whole premise.Moore had purchased the Eufy Doorbell Dual Camera for its promise of a local storage option, only to discover that the doorbell’s cameras had been storing thumbnails of faces on the cloud, along with identifiable user information, despite Moore not even having a Eufy Cloud Storage account.Though Eufy says its practices comply with Apple’s Push Notification Service terms of use and Google’s Firebase Cloud Message standards, it’s since patched some of the issues discovered by Moore.We are revising the push notifications option language in the eufy Security app to clearly detail that push notifications with thumbnails require preview images that will be temporarily stored in the cloud."
