I suggest you look it up in detail, my memory on the details are not only hazzy, I never looked that deep into it, beyond "well thats shitty, rip Anker".
but the TDLR; A few years back Eufy (owned by Anker), they didn't tell anyone video was stored on the cloud, and then it turned out the live video stream was exposed to the open web. Initial response was lack-luster and Anker didn't own up to anything.
Its been a few years, possible things are different. Also possible initial issues were blown out of proportion, and I never heard any of the "corrections" no one ever makes.
It's in its early days, but consumerrights.wiki has potential to become a very valuable place to check before buying anything. The summery there is much better.
