Google Nest cameras playing chat roulette

Google shutting down Xiaomi access to Assistant following Nest Hub picking up strangers' camera feeds (Updated)

So-called "smart" security cameras have had some pretty dumb security problems recently, but a recent report regarding a Xiaomi Mijia camera linked to a Google Home is especially disturbing. One Xiaomi Mijia camera owner is getting still images from other random peoples' homes when trying to stream content from his camera to a Google Nest Hub. The images include sills of people sleeping (even an infant in a cradle) inside their own homes. Google has disabled Xiaomi integration for its products entirely in the meantime, while it works out the issue with Xiaomi.
