> We’ve identified your Wyze account as one that was affected. This means that thumbnails from your Events were visible in another Wyze user’s account and that a thumbnail was tapped. Most taps enlarged the thumbnail, but in some cases it could have caused an Event Video to be viewed.

Kudos to Wyze for doing the things noted in the thread like being honest and prompt with notification etc, but "thumbnails from your Events were visible... and that thumbnail was tapped" is a pretty mealy-mouthed way to say "another person saw your private pictures and videos taken with your Wyze cameras"

Well obviously, and I think people can figure that out.

I actually appreciate the more specific details on how the private pictures and videos were actually viewed using terminology from the Wyze app.

"like being honest and prompt with notification etc,"

On the Wyze subreddit, people have been griping about the fact that it took them days to even acknowledge something happened. When I read the Wyze email about it, there was no new info in it, it had pretty much all already been discussed online.

So 30 min of me sitting on my ass are on the web. Ok… enjoy viewers.
