I wonder how trivial now it would be for some secret gov org to get a live feed of so many areas if they were so inclined.

They weren’t hacked so much as badly transferred ownership. Basically someone (Alexa or Wyze) didn’t invalidate security tokens after the device was sold and changed hands.

Surely was not the first time a camera was sold second hand.

I know, but if that's trivial so is giving skeleton keys for all your network to the government for a fat contract (Amazon)... or they could just take it like they did with Cisco.

They just have to ask through secret letters... they don't need to try any hacks...
