I knew this would happen. Ring is not very secure at all, which is why it's amazing that some people are trusting enough to put these cameras inside their home. Imagine being dumb enough to place one in your bedroom or bathroom! (Why would you even need one in the bathroom?)

Sure enough...

According to the complaint, these failures amounted to egregious violations of users’ privacy. For example, one employee over several months viewed thousands of video recordings belonging to female users of Ring cameras that surveilled intimate spaces in their homes such as their bathrooms or bedrooms. The employee wasn’t stopped until another employee discovered the misconduct. Even after Ring imposed restrictions on who could access customers’ videos, the company wasn’t able to determine how many other employees inappropriately accessed private videos because Ring failed to implement basic measures to monitor and detect employees’ video access.
