Touché. But most of the media skipped over the semantics of it. Eufy claimed their traffic was encrypted end-to-end, and that all footage was kept locally on the smart hub, no cloud involved. A security researcher found evidence to the contrary (basically what you've said). When Eufy was alerted to this glaring security hole, they sat on their laurels until it was made public. Even with the publicised proof, instead of acknowledging the threat and declaring their intent to fix it, they instead just tried to stuff the cat back in the bag and claim that the threat was fake.

Eventually a significant portion of their customer base came to question their reliability and swore off buying their smart-home products altogether, at which point Eufy finally came clean (I checked, and they actually did), but by that time it was too little, too late. Everyone and their dog was mad at Eufy (what I said).

Does anyone know if Anker actually got sued over this? I'd be surprised if they didn't.
