The security camera company’s parent Anker promised all video stream requests will be E2E encrypted, and that every Eufy camera will be WebRTC-enabled.
Eric Villines, Eufy’s global head of communications, said live video was previously only encrypted when the security system received a user request to live stream video. The web portal used by the company previously “was not designed to support P2P encryption for viewing live streams.” Instead, the only protection was a user login.
“This wasn’t enough, and it’s been fixed,” Villines wrote. The company rep also said that the web portal now prohibits users from entering debug mode, and the code has been “hardened and obfuscated.” The video stream content is now supposedly encrypted as well.Anker told The Verge that Eufy has already updated its site so that every video stream request is end-to-end encrypted.
Still, Anker tried to minimize just how deep its security hole was. In the full statement shown by The Verge, the company said “there have been no data leaks, nor did we violate GDPR or other data protection laws.” The company reiterated it does not have access to users’ live streams or videos, and if any law enforcement requests access to that video, it would have to go through the individual user.
