The problem happened on their online video platform, Unifi Protect, which lets users control their video cameras from far away.

The problem occurred when certain people tried to look at their Unifi Protect accounts using a web browser. Instead of seeing their own videos, they saw videos from other people’s cameras, even in different countries. The issue also revealed the names and places of the cameras and the email addresses of the account owners.

The problem happened because of an issue with storing data on Ubiquiti’s servers. This caused some users to get incorrect information when they logged in.

I could navigate the device, view, and change settings! Terrifying!! while another said “I logged in and I seem to be someone else,”
