In Amazon Letter, Senate Democrats Say Ring Device Data Inadequately SecuredÂ
Ring devices are overly susceptible to hacking and security concerns, five Democratic senators wrote Amazon Wednesday. Sens. Ron Wyden, Oregon.; Ed Markey, Massachusetts; Chris Van Hollen, Maryland; Chris Coons, Delaware; and Gary Peters, Michigan, cited reports detailing “a recently-patched flaw that left Wi-Fi passwords of Ring doorbells vulnerable to hackers and the apparent unfettered access Ring employees in Ukraine had to videos created by every Ring camera in the world.” Americans have a right to know who has access to this data and if it’s secure from hacking, they said. The company didn't comment.
