Amazon Cloud Cam’s Not-So-Grand Finale: Why It’s Time to Say Goodbye!

The Amazon Cloud Cam, once a vigilant watchdog, is now more like a retired guard dog with no teeth. As of December 2022, it’s gone from “Who’s there?” to “I’m not here,” leaving your home security to fend for itself. Time to retire this old-timer!

Hot Take:

Amazon Cloud Cam: The ghost of Christmas past, haunting your home network with its archaic charm and security holes big enough to drive an Amazon delivery truck through. Who knew that the real terror of the cloud would be a cloud cam long past its expiry date? It seems some products really do go quietly into that good night, but not without leaving a few skeletons in the closet, or rather, in the router.

Key Points:

  • Amazon Cloud Cam is no longer supported as of December 2, 2022.
  • The device still tries to connect to a deprecated remote service.
  • It defaults to a pairing status vulnerable to SSL pinning bypass.
  • This vulnerability allows for interception and modification of network traffic.
  • All versions are affected, with no resolution other than discontinuation.
