Amazon Ring Employees Able to Access Every Single Camera Customer Video

California-based Ring LLC endangered its customers’ privacy by allowing any employee or contractor to see consumers’ private footage and failing to implement basic privacy and security controls, enabling hackers to gain control of consumers’ accounts, cameras, and videos. Ring LLC, which Amazon purchased in February 2018, produces internet-connected, video-enabled home security cameras, doorbells, and related accessories and services Reports say every Amazon Ring employee had access to every customer video, even if it wasn’t necessary for their duties.  Additionally, before July 2017, the staff members may take any of those recordings, keep them, and share them as they pleased with staff members from a third-party contractor in Ukraine.
