PRC Anker Under Scrutiny For Lying About Eufy Camera Encryption

Tech publication The Verge is calling out Anker, the PRC manufacturer behind Eufy, for lying about how its streams were natively-end-to-end encrypted:

First, Anker told us it was impossible. Then,it covered its tracks. Itrepeatedly deflectedwhile utterly ignoring our emails. So shortly before Christmas, we gave the company an ultimatum: if Anker wouldn’t answer why its supposedly always-encrypted Eufy cameras were producing unencrypted streams —among other questions— we would publish a story about the company’s lack of answers.
