In brief<\/span> Unlucky owners of Eufycam security cameras were horrified earlier today when they opened their app for the equipment and saw video streams from strangers’ homes instead of their own.<\/p>\n

A software bug was blamed for the fault, which has been corrected, we’re told.<\/p>\n

These 1080p Wi-Fi-connected devices are made by Anker, and are designed to be used indoors and outdoors. They can record to microSD cards and\/or the cloud, and viewable via a mobile app. On Monday, some users found themselves staring at feeds from other people’s homes \u2013 even those in other countries \u2013 and feared they were being watched, too. The privacy breakdown sparked an eruption of complaints on Reddit<\/a> and Anker’s support forum.<\/p>\n
