PSA: It seems the latest version of the Reolink Android app (v4.43.0.5.20240111) is capturing the phone’s clipboard when first opened, and again whenever the clipboard contents change and the app is brought into the foreground.

GrapheneOS reports, “Reolink pasted from your clipboard”. I don’t recall seeing this message on older versions of the software.

While network-accessible camera software has always posed a privacy risk, this is particularly concerning behaviour.

    boo, and this is one of the few low cost camera systems I will recommend to non techie users.
