Amazon Cloud Cam: The Zombie Camera That Won’t Stay Dead!

Amazon Cloud Cam, now officially retired and unsupported since December 2022, might as well be using carrier pigeons for security. Power it up, and it opens the door for network shenanigans. Remember, it’s end of life, not a retirement party!

Hot Take:

Amazon’s Cloud Cam is the ghost of Christmas past that just won’t leave the party. It’s like your tech-savvy uncle who insists on using Windows XP in 2025, except this time, it’s the Cam that’s hanging out with the living long past its expiration date. Not only is it outdated, but it’s also as secure as a door with a “Please Enter” sign. Amazon Cloud Cam, more like Amazon Clown Cam, am I right?

Key Points:

  • Amazon Cloud Cam officially reached its end-of-life on December 2, 2022.
  • Once powered on, the Cam tries to connect to a defunct remote service infrastructure.
  • The device’s SSL pinning can be bypassed, allowing for potential network exploitation.
  • All versions of the Cloud Cam are affected by this vulnerability.
  • Users are advised to stop using the product due to security risks.
