On January 5, 2020, a user in the Netherlands reported that his Google Home Hub began displaying photos from unidentified locations on its smart screen when he accessed his Xiaomi security camera.
The images included a sleeping baby, a man sleeping on a porch, a shop security camera, a stranger's kitchen, and a child resting in a cot.
According to a Reddit user, Dio-V, when he attempted to view images from his own security camera on his Google Home Hub, it showed photos from unidentified camera feeds.
Google has since revoked Xiaomi's access rights and suspended any integration with the Chinese firm's devices until further notice.
Xiaomi attributed the issue to a cache update on December 26, which was designed to improve camera streaming quality.
Only users with 'extremely poor network conditions' were likely to have been affected by the error, according to Xiaomi.
