Model: Tapo C425  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.7

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING... SERIOUS SECURITY VULNERABILITY...!

 

Just confirmed with TP-LINK that the C425 is SERIOUSLY compromised with respect to the recent wifi jammer trend.

So, let's say I walk up to a C425 and turn on my $30 jammer. What happens?

Well, the C425 kindly gives me a flashing red LED to indicate I've been successful.⁷

Turns out that even if I set the 'Status LED' to OFF, the camera IGNORES that instruction when the wifi is down.

I sincerely hope this is fixed ASAP. In the meantime I hope you are not caught out by this...
