Consumer Warning: Eufy surveillance products not safe for your privacy!


Have Australian ‘consumers’ been warned by the authorities of Anker’s sub brand Eufy's false advertising and security risk?

Basically Anker should be in the courts for false advertising which has been exposed on various tech channels approx. two weeks ago.

The products (deliberately) do not feature encryption as stated, which makes them easily hackable with a simple and common video player such as VLC.

What's worse is that advertising states that no data is sent to the cloud, but upon further inspection, your biometric data, i.e. facial features are given an id number and stored on the company's servers.

Therefore this product cannot be recommended for purchase or use, where the recommendation would be for the ‘consumer’ to return the product to the store for a full refund.

Australian retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, Bunnings, The Good Guys, SuperCheap Auto sell this product.

As of the time of this post the Australian Cyber Security Centre has not posted any information about Eufy, where around that time it only posted about Citrix Gateway vulnerabilities.

A failure of the Australian Government, putting consumers at risk.
