I don't think that was a great write up. I'm no panda-hugger but I was hoping for evidence/walk-through for the following claims made in the article, and I didn't find any direct evidence in the article. Did I not read it closely enough? (Pretty sure the claims are made without support)

> Yi Camera is a front for the Chinese Ministry of State Security. Full stop.

> Yi Cameras send all customer data to Xiaomi as I have previously claimed with Wyze.

To be fair, I updated the link to the the ‘tags’ page, since it includes the whole series, after @quit32 commented. They might have been referring to one of the first couple in the series , the link originally pointed to #1.

Honestly I’m not familiar with the Yi cameras, I haven’t read that newest post, I’ll have to look into it. But, 12 Security is credited with disclosing the 2nd Wyze security breach in December 2019 (the 1st one not even a full calendar year before).

Wyze reluctantly admitted the breach days later, but went into damage control mode, claiming the DB was only exposed for part of the month of December. 12 Security says otherwise, that it was exposed for the majority of the calendar year, and many parties across the globe accessed it according to logs.
