Wyze says its security cameras deserve your trust again
In an effort to restore trust in the security of its cameras, smart home brand Wyze has developed VerifiedView — a new layer of protection that embeds your user ID into the metadata of every photo, video, and livestream. Wyze claims the system matches this data to your account before playback, blocking unauthorized access to your footage. 'This is a safety net,' Wyze co-founder and CMO Dave Crosby tells The Verge. 'On top of doing everything we can to protect users, we've built this double check at the end to make sure that they're extra protected.' 'We realized that we cannot survive if we keep making these stupid mistakes.' The move follows several rough years for Wyze on the security front, starting with a vulnerability on its v1 cameras that it knew about for three years and never disclosed, followed by two high-profile incidents in 2023 and 2024, where users saw images from other people's cameras. Crosby says that Wyze now sees fixing its security practices as existential. 'We realized that we cannot survive if we keep making these stupid mistakes that we're making,' he says. 'We've got to make monumental changes so this kind of stuff never happens again.' VerifiedView is just one result of this major shift; Wyze has also expanded its in-house security team, Crosby says, and 'invested millions of dollars' in strengthening its security architecture from top to bottom. That includes re-architecting its security stack, requiring two-factor authentication, launching a bug bounty program, and deploying monitoring tools to detect and prevent threats. Wyze is also committed to being more transparent around security. 'One of the biggest mistakes we ever made was not being more transparent on that,' Crosby says, referring to a flaw Bitdefender identified in its camera in 2019, but which the company didn't disclose to customers until 2022. VerifiedView is available now via a firmware update that began rolling out in April. 'It's 100% deployed on our most popular cameras — Wyze Cam v4, v3, Pan v3, and OG,' Crosby says, adding that it's coming to the rest soon. Some older cameras don't have the hardware to support it, but Wyze is exploring ways to accommodate them. Users can check to see if their cameras are on the new firmware on Wyze's site. Investing in rebuilding After the 2024 breach, Cosby says Wyze regrouped around security. 'We went through our entire security stack, evaluating where we can improve, reviewing third-party tools, and removing them where we can. Where we have to use them, we are only building with the best platforms,' he says. 'We've invested in AWS tools – including Lacework, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and Q CLI.' Wyze also hired several security firms 'to verify and validate what we've done.' VerifiedView should prevent the types of scenarios Wyze experienced in 2023 and 2024 around issues with third-party tools. 'If everything else fails and people get into the cloud or data gets switched, people cannot see other people's content,' Crosby says. It works by attaching your user ID to your camera – and therefore onto any photo, video, or livestream it produces. Before you can access the footage, VerifiedView checks that the ID from the device you're using matches. If it doesn't, access is denied. The tech is similar to DRM (Digital Rights Management) created to combat content piracy, explains Sharon Hagi, a cybersecurity expert and chief security officer at Silicon Labs, who reviewed Wyze's published materials at The Verge's request. 'At the core of VerifiedView is a well-established and critical data security concept: cryptographic binding of user identity and device data to digital content,' he says, calling it a significant step forward in smart home security. While VerifiedView is designed to prevent unauthorized access to your footage, it can't stop someone with access to your account from viewing it. To address that, Wyze claims login security has been strengthened. Two-factor authentication is now required by default, secure sign-in options are available, and the company has deployed tools to detect suspicious logins. Crosby emphasized Wyze has invested a lot of money into these changes and that the ongoing costs to maintain VerifiedView, including engineering and cloud infrastructure, are substantial. This raises the question of how sustainable this is for a bootstrapped startup with razor-thin margins. Could VerifiedView eventually become a paid feature? 'We will never charge for this feature and we will never discontinue it,' Crosby says. 'It will be a regular feature for all Wyze Cams going forward.' Another question is why not just build in end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which ensures only the user and their authorized devices can access footage? Most cloud-based security cameras, including Wyze, encrypt data while 'in transit' and 'at rest,' which protects against bad actors, but allows the company to access it while on their servers to provide additional features. 'VerifiedView offers very similar protections to E2EE without compromising the user experience – it felt like the perfect trade-off.' Crosby says E2EE is the 'holy grail,' but it breaks the features users value. 'With E2EE, you can't use third-party integrations like Alexa, and AI identifications in the cloud don't work. VerifiedView offers very similar protections to E2EE without compromising the user experience — it felt like the perfect tradeoff.' It's true that encrypting your footage keeps a company's cloud servers from looking at it and acting on your behalf to tell you when, say, a package is at your door. But some companies like Apple, with its E2EE HomeKit Secure Video, use a local server to do that processing. Alongside the local storage it offers on some cameras, Crosby says they are exploring adding more local processing, something it has on its higher-end cameras. 'We want to move more and more to the edge,' he says, adding that could mean new local devices, but didn't clarify if that means new cameras or some type of hub for local processing. Wyze is also working on bringing back Real-Time Streaming Protocol, Crosby says. This would let users stream video to a local recording device and/or platforms like Home Assistant. When asked why not at least offer E2EE as an option, Crosby again pointed to the lost functionality of E2EE, such as Wyze's new AI features that help cut down on notifications. 'We created VerifiedView to be a third layer of protection so users can benefit from the AI features … while knowing their videos are secure.' Clearly, the cloud will always be a core part of the Wyze service. 'There will probably always be some sort of edge-cloud collaboration,' Crosby says. 'Today, we do the easy stuff on the edge and the hard stuff on the cloud. As our cameras get smarter, we move more to the edge. But situations are getting harder, too, and we're adding more use cases to what we monitor. So, it will always be a process of learning and getting better at something, and then moving that to the edge.' Crosby believes that users should now feel safe using Wyze's security cameras. 'We are more locked down than ever,' he says. 'I feel very confident. And while you can't be too confident in this game, because everyone feels confident until something happens, we're building layers of tools on top of each other. It's the best we can do at this point, and I feel very confident with it.'

VanMoof's co-founders have a new e-bike coming from Raleigh
Ties and Taco Carlier, who founded VanMoof as an alternative to Big Bike, are working for Accell Group, the Dutch cycling giant responsible for over a dozen bicycle brands including Batavus, Sparta, Carqon, and Raleigh. According to multiple sources, the first e-bike, developed for the Raleigh brand and pictured above, is nearing completion. The bike's development has been an open secret in my home city of Amsterdam. It's here that the brothers founded VanMoof in 2009, before the heavily-funded startup went bankrupt in 2023. It re-emerged later that year without its co-founders under McLaren Applied's stewardship. Various prototypes of the brand-less e-bike have been spotted in and around the city over the last year — sometimes nearby the home of one of the brothers. The prototypes match images of a Raleigh-branded e-bike that recently leaked. Those images were inadvertently made public (and later removed) by Amsterdam-based Uni_verse Studio, the digital production house that lists VanMoof as a client. The Raleigh commuter e-bike looks very VanMoof-ish, only better: the battery is removable for charging, it's belt driven, and the motor has been moved to the rear wheel. The result is an e-bike that closely resembles the Tenways CGO009. When I reached out to Raleigh for comment, Accell Group Brand Lead Ertu Bilgin said that the e-bike was developed with help from 'some former VanMoof team members,' but it's 'very much a product of the Accell Group.' In 2022, the Accell Group reportedly turned down a financial stake in VanMoof when approached by the rival co-founders, desperate for capital to offset almost €150 million in debt. With this new Raleigh e-bike, it would seem that Accell managed to avoid the sickly cow and still get its milk for free.

Central Banks Can Learn From Stablecoins How To Make Better CBDCs
The Governor of the Banque de France, M. François Villeroy de Galhau, told a hearing of National Assembly Foreign Affairs Committee on 14th May this year that the digitalisation of the European economy is increasing the regions "reliance on non-European players, especially international networks and big tech". He is obviously right. He also went to talk about how the growth of stablecoins (dollar-backed and, as he sees it, promoted by the US government) means that there is a serious risk of 'de-Europeanisation' of the currency, making the need for a digital euro all the more urgent. The fact is that policymakers have a genuine concern that if US stablecoins gain widespread usage, there is a risk of 'digital dollarization' where platforms mean that participants will stay in flexible, liquid digital dollars and effectively undermine national sovereignty in monetary policy. M. Galhau's call to action here was stirring: 'We urgently need to shake off a certain economic nonchalance and overcome our stupefaction faced with the new US administration. We need a general mobilisation: the French and European response must be a collective one, with a fair sharing of the burden and a decisive pace of action'. (I also liked his comment on the digital euro that 'an ostensibly technical project masks an essential political dimension'. True enough, and I will return to this point later.) However, because I am a nerd about digital currency and obsessed with trying to understand the future of money, I cannot help but reflect on the implied equivalence of stablecoins and a central bank digital currency (CBDC), in this case the digital euro. He is far from the only person to manifest this incorrect equivalence. Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department said it was concerned about the growth of the stablecoins and it believed that privately issued stablecoins should eventually be replaced by a a CBDC. And in my book 'The Currency Cold War' (LPP: 2020) I too wrote that there will be 'competition between private asset-based currencies and public fiat-backed (or synthetic) currencies' because I had lazily categorised public CBDCs and public stablecoins together when, as the passage of time has made clear, they are actually very different things. As far as private asset-based currencies go, there is nothing to stop European companies from making euro stablecoins (indeed, Circle already does, although it is backed by US dollar assets) or indeed any other stablecoins. There are actually many different kinds of organisation looking at the idea. In the US, some of the biggest merchants are looking at issuing their own stablecoins in order to shift transactions away from the banking systems and potentially saving them considerable fees. According the Wall Street Journal, both Walmart, Amazon and Expedia as well as some airlines have explored whether to issue their own stablecoins (Surely I am not the only person who has wondered why retailers with large numbers of customers and massive hoards of data have not moved to disrupt the payments space.) More Monies. © Helen Holmes (2025). It is useful to check in and see what actual economists think about this shift to digital in this repsect. There is an excellent paper on this from the National Bureau of Economic Research on 'The Digitalization of Money' (working paper 26300, September 2019). In that paper Markus Brunnermeier, Harold James and Jean-Pierre Landau discuss how innovation unbundles the functions of money and, as they put it, renders the competition between currencies 'much fiercer'. They go on to discuss the role of platforms (ie, two-sided markets where buyers and sellers exchange multiple products) and explore their interaction with digital currencies. Their conclusion was that digital currencies associated with platforms will be far more differentiated than currencies are today because they will differ not only in their monetary functions but also in the functions provided by the associated platforms. As they put it, 'a currency's appeal will likely be governed by other platform features such as information processing algorithms, its data privacy policies and the set of counterparts available on the platform'. (This is a really interesting perspective on the dynamics of digital currency which set me thinking about how both governments and businesses will deal with the digital currencies and fuelled my long-held suspicion that we are heading into a world of more, rather than fewer, currencies.) It is important to see, though, that these private stablecoins do not replace CBDCs such as the digital euro, because public CBDCs have very different requirements. Stablecoins are about economics, whereas CBDCs are about economics, politics and social policy. CBDCs have to be available everyone, whereas stablecoins do not. CBDCs need to work offline otherwise serve as an adjunct to cash, whereas stablecoins do not. CBDCs should be redesigned to increase the net welfare, stablecoins do not. There is another aspect to the relationship between stablecoins and CBDCs that I also find rather interesting. Earlier this year, the Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, said in a speech to a G30 seminar in Washinton that while commercial banks are the "best home" for innovation in retail CBDCs (I have to say that I am not clear why he thinks this), central banks should continue their preparations because "We have not yet seen enough evidence that the innovation will happen in commercial banks'. It is clear that a crucial driver of the stablecoin boom is innovation: the people building next-generation cool stuff in their dorm rooms, particularly cool stuff around agentic finance, are using stablecoins to exchange value because stablecoins are platform for innovation (which what a CBDC should be). This widespread permissionless innovation is good for all of us. I always thought that the innovation agenda was the most interesting element of the Bank of England's analysis: Given Britain's leading role in fintech, and the renewed commitment to the sector following the "Kalifa Review", I saw the issue of competition as critical. A point well made in the Bank of England's initial 2020 report was that the introduction of "smart money" (either by some form of smart contract usage or API interface) was really where the benefit of a CBDC would come from. CityUnited, a London think-tank, made that same point, arguing that digital Sterling must be "at the heart of Britain's efforts" to strengthen London's global role as a financial centre. It is no wonder that central banks are concerned about the rise of stablecoins, but I am sure that if they analyse the stablecoin boom, they can make the digital euro, digital pound and digital everything else better: not by copying stablecoins, but by learning from them.
