alt Hacker NewsThe biggest concern about Ubiquiti to me is still its software/infrastructure quality.
Off top of my head, besides all the UI/UX glitches:
- They once allowed a human employee to access static AWS root access key.
- Their employee once claimed "remote access" was end to end encrypted, but later people figured out they probably just meant TLS in transit.
- They had a configuration error that allowed some users to access other users' camera feeds. They corrected the error, but never explained how the hell was it even possible or if they made any architecture design change to prevent that from happening again.
Now, ZFS is nice. But even after years of iterations, I still need to do 50% of my operations via SSH on my Truenas system. I can't imagine Ubiquiti to do any better

Yeah this is why I disable remote access and setup tailscale.
Its annoying but with Claude and a little knowledge you can make it persistent. By default it got wiped every update which was annoying.
I sold my Unifi APs, they broke DHCP over wifi multiple times. If you can't QA/Test basic 101 features like that, I have zero trust in your security.
They’ve had router firmware updates that have borked networks a few years ago. Software QA processes weren’t up to snuff.
Also a lot of vulnerabilities: https://app.opencve.io/cve/?vendor=ubiquiti
