I’ve been really, really, cautious with the 1.9.x UDM/UDM-Pro firmware releases, but I think it’s time to throw caution to the wind with the 1.9.3 release. Somewhat because it genuinely seems to be more solid release (mostly on the controller side), but also because UI’s breach, and lack of disclosure around what happened exactly, puts us all at massive risk.

Remember that Ubiquiti (UI) security breach a while back? Well, looks like it’s much (much) worse than they let on. Not only in the degree and scope of what was compromised, but also how long it took for them to notify customers and with that response in general.

Rushed firmware, after rushed firmware, after rushed firmware; all likely due to poor release management by Ubiquiti.

Has it been a week already? It would have been a long week for a lot of folks running the 1.9.0 firmware on their UDM/UDM-Pro. Personally, I’m going to wait another week because of how badly the last release went, but I’m also quite a bit more confident about the stability of this release, so maybe I’ll cut that short.

Ubiquiti has released the 1.9.x firmware for the UDM/UDM-Pro. To me, this seems a bit rushed, especially with the inclusion of the 6.1.x controller.

From a numbers perspective the Unifi Protect G4-Bullet camera is a decent bump vs the G3-Bullet, but nothing that would have me pulling out the wallet. Smart Detections on the other hand…
