One Ring employee in 2017 viewed thousands of videos belonging to at least 81 women users of Ring Stick Up Cams, focusing his searches on camera names including “Master Bedroom,” “Master Bathroom” or “Spy Cam”.
Amazon.com Inc. agreed to pay $30.8 million to resolve two cases brought by the Federal Trade Commission Wednesday related to privacy lapses by its smart devices.
On Alexa, the company consulted with the FTC to ensure its program complied with children’s privacy laws but agreed to a change that will delete kids’ profiles if they have been inactive for 18 months. The FTC, which has been investigating Amazon since 2019, is finalising an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon over the company’s control over its online marketplace.
Amazon also sells a kids-focused edition of its Echo smart speaker and offers a subscription service that opens up a curated selection of apps, books and other content. The FTC alleged that Amazon didn’t do enough to address the problems after buying the company, with data security issues continuing until 2020.
In at least 20 cases, hackers maintained access to the cameras for more than a month, the FTC said. Users whose cameras were hacked told Ring they were “terrified” after the episodes.some employees in 2020 for improperly trying to access customer data and subsequently revamped its security practices, including adding encryption to its video devices.
