<p>In a recent <a href="https://forums.wyzecam.com/t/wyze-product-updates-02-17-2020/89116">product update</a>, Wyze outlined its plans for the Wyze Lock, outdoor camera, scale and doorbell cam, as well as the Wyze Band. Official information on the device is a little thin, but <em><a href="https://zatznotfunny.com/2020-02/wyze-band-alexa/">ZatzNotFunny</a> </em>has unearthed more details on what we can expect. As well as the usual activity tracking features and weather tools, the band will let users control Wyze devices straight from their wrist, as well as any number of <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/22/the-best-alexa-compatible-smart-home-devices-for-amazon-echo/">Alexa devices</a>, thanks to built-in Alexa capabilities. Smart phone notifications also appear to be included in the color screen device.</p>
<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mS9PVNkD9lY" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p>It looks like launch is a few months away yet, with Wyze noting in its product update that it expects to complete the beta phase soon and move on to preparing for the EA launch. No doubt the band &#8212; and indeed all of the products Wyze hopes to roll out this year &#8212; will be a harder sell, given its massive data breach last year. That being said, while there is no official pricing information available yet, we can expect the Wyze Band to represent an affordable way of getting Alexa on your wrist. With the company no doubt mindful of its security levels and taking steps to tighten its operations that might be enough to convince customers to give it a go.</p>

<p>The issue was uncovered by consulting firm <a href="https://blog.12security.com/wyze/">Twelve Security</a>, who announced that sensitive user data had been left exposed on the internet. This included a staggering array of personal information including email addresses, a list of cameras in the house, WiFi SSIDs and even health information including height, weight, gender, bone density and more.</p>
<p>The Twelve Security researcher who disclosed the issue wrote that the database of information was live and open, with anyone able to access it. They described it as the largest breach they had even seen in their ten year career, and concluded, &#8220;If this was intentional espionage or gross negligence, it remains a malicious action that must be answered in the form of a decisive, external, and fast investigation by US authorities.&#8221;</p>
<p>For its part, Wyze responded with a series of forum posts <a href="https://forums.wyzecam.com/t/updated-12-29-19-data-leak-12-26-2019/79046">confirming the leak</a> but denying some parts of the Twelve Security report. &#8220;We are confirming that some Wyze user data was not properly secured and left exposed from December 4th to December 26th,&#8221; the company said. It denied that it had leaked bone density information, for example, but confirmed it had leaked &#8220;body metrics&#8221; for a small number of beta testers.</p>
<p>Wyze says it is investigating what happened and how the leak occurred, and that it plans to send an email notification to affected customers. In the meantime, if you have a Wyze account it&#8217;s a good idea to change your password and turn on two-factor authentication.</p>
