Privacy concerns plague Ring security cameras and Amazon's Alexa.

Ring security cameras allegedly gave every employee and third-party contractor full access to every customer video before 2017, according to a complaint filed by the Federal Trade Commission. The company also failed to patch bugs in the system that allowed hackers to access cameras and scare consumers. The FTC alleges that Ring didn't notify consumers of the broad access to cameras. Under the proposed FTC order, Ring will be prohibited from profiting from unlawfully accessing consumers' videos and directed to pay $5.8 million in consumer refunds.
