If you’re using a Wyze camera around your home, it might be time to reconsider. Uncovered in a blog post by Bitdefender, security vulnerabilities in Wyze’s could allow hackers to get around a camera’s authentication process. The end result was one that could bust the product (metaphorically speaking) wide open and control it remotely, giving a hacker the ability to move and pan the camera, turn the camera on or off, disable SD card recording. While the testers couldn’t view the live audio and video feed — due to its encryption — the staggering part is that the concerns were reported to Wyze three years ago, with a fix addressing the problem happening only recently. While the issue has been taken care of, those with first-gen Wyze cameras are advised to upgrade immediately, as the earlier Wyze products may still be susceptible to malicious activity since support (in other words, released updates) ended back in February of this year. Wyze aside, close out the week with Tudor’s all-new Black Bay Pro, On’s “monstrous” running shoe and a featherlight hardtail MTB from Pivot. This is Today in Gear.

Keep your knives in tip-top shape with Work Sharp’s Honing Rod.
Work SharpWork Sharp’s Ceramic Honing Rod is the solution to keep your tools at the ready, with intentional design additions to make maintaining your blades easy, every single time you use it. Its built-in guides make it easy to find and maintain an optimal angle for peak accuracy and speedy sharpening.

The end result is a much smoother sharpening experience and a near-perfect edge every time.
