A popular smart security system maker has ignored warnings from security researchers that its flagship device has several serious vulnerabilities, including allowing anyone access to the company’s central store of customer-uploaded video recordings.

Fixing the vulnerability not only requires the keys to be changed on the server, but also a software patch to be rolled out on each affected device.

Guardzilla were given three months to fix the security lapse and roll out new firmware to affected devices after the researchers privately reached out, but the company neither acknowledged nor patched the issue, prompting the researchers to go public with their findings.

Guardzilla doesn’t say how many devices it’s sold or how many customers it has, but touts its hardware selling in several major U.S. retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Staples.

To conclude, your safest bet is to unplug your Guardzilla from the wall and stop using it.
