Anker has finally admitted to a major accusation regarding its Eufy security camera. So now, the company has come clean regarding some of its “always encrypted” Eufy cameras not producing encrypted streams all of the times. So here are all of the details.
The Verge has been attempting to get a statement from the company, although, it deflected any form of communication while also ignoring its emails. However, when cornered against the wall, the brand finally admitted that its Eufy security cameras are not natively end to end encrypted. In other words, they are able and sometime did produce unencrypted video streams for Eufy’s web portal. This is similar to the ones that were accessed by The Verge from across the US using an ordinary media player.
However, Anker claims that it has now largely fixed this issue. The company stated that every video stream request originating from Eufy’s web portal will now be end to end encrypted same as they are on the Eufy’s app. Furthermore, the company is now working on updating its every single Eufy camera to use WebRTC, which is encrypted by default. Although, these cameras can still produce unencrypted footage upon request.
Lastly, Anker also issued an apology for the lack of communication and has promised to do better in the future. It has also confirmed that it is bringing in a third part security testing company, which is a “leading and well known security expert”. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
