Hot Take:

Well, it looks like Wyze decided to play a game of accidental 'I Spy' with their customers' camera feeds. Nothing says 'security' quite like a surprise episode of 'Through the Keyhole' with a cast of 13,000 random strangers. Welcome to the ultimate peeping Tom convention, courtesy of a caching kerfuffle. Wyze up, folks – this is not the kind of sharing economy we signed up for!
