Not even just cloud based. I remember a decade or two ago a lot of security cameras were plugged into the regular network with enabled remote access.

Those are from public places, a lot of those cameras are promoted on their respective websites too since they're purposefully open. I'm talking about private household cameras.

@catculation This has happened before and is a really big issue, but wouldn't some sort of network segmentation have helped prevent this especially as it's happened before?

Not self-hosting at the moment but still, nothing can be as bad as Wyze, right?
I've got eufy cameras...
Well as long as it's just briefly...
