I got an email notice yesterday about someone else’s tag. When I logged into my account via a web browser, all I see are someone else’s tags, about two dozen of them. My iPhone app now also shows all the other persons’ tags.

Server folks: please resolve this privacy issue.

Hi! 

There was a previous thread about this. Maybe removing and re-adding the manager helps?

Someone clearly screwed something up on the server side. This needs to be fixed on the server side. I should not have to mess around with my setup to repair Cao Gadget's privacy incident.

If this happens, please open the Account setting (settings button -> account) screen.  It will reset the tag manager to the selected one displayed in the account page. 
If you have multiple tag manager, then this issue should not happen since you call the select tag manager API every time you login.

Hi Fred,  your case seems to be different, that customer was seeing the whole tag list coming from another tag manager.  You have 2 tag managers and the currently selected one is 4D0Exxxx  what is the name of the "rogue" tag is showing that does not belong to it?

OK, mine has returned, but I don't know how to trust in it now. What happened, how did it get fixed, and what is going to be done so that it doesn't happen again?

Hi Scott, what is your login email? I tried sjmci...@gmail.com but that is not a registered user at my.wirelesstag.net

I also have two tag managers on the same account and a tag called Brooder 1 with only a battery voltage reported spontaneously appeared a few weeks ago. The tag ID is 87351d64-9141-4219-8df9-44be9f124082. Can you please investigate? Or do I just need to unpair it?

87351d64-9141-4219-8df9-44be9f124082   " Brooder 1 " is part of your tag, see below record from your tag manager 4BA8xxxx 
Tag type 82 means it is some kind of IFTTT device (https://mytaglist.com/kumoapp/17/tags-kumosensors-kumostats)

OK I have removed these.   These may be caused by periodic background sync of IFTTT Connect (used for Wemo integration after Wemo unilaterally stopped their working API). The other user won't even notice this as this is just a copy of their setting and you won't be able to control their wemo because your account does not have the correct userid.

Thank you for checking but I’ve never used IFTTT or any Kumo apps. None of the IDs with an associated date after April 2021 are mine. I assume they’ve come from someone else’s account.
