ChannelNews | June 25, 2019
Google has reportedly fixed a bug which allowed former owners of used Nest Cam Indoor security system access to security video feeds, despite performing a factory reset of the device.The issue was a major breach of privacy, which Google said was the reason for its decision to discontinue the Works with Nest program.By stopping the program, Google wanted to limit the access of third-party devices to the data that was captured by Nest programs.This is the second major privacy scandal suffered by Google’s Nest division this year.
