Amazon's Ring to pay $5.8 million over allegations employees spied on customers.
#Amazon #Ring #Business
Monetary penalties have nothing to do with Justice
It's how lawyers get rich.
What could possibly go wrong?
What about prison terms for the guilty?????? Spying on women???
Wow, almost 6 million dollars, how will Amazon handle it? I'll bet they never do it again.
The price of living in society? Not all this technology is good for people, important to pick and choose.. and protect you and your loved ones at the same time! 👍 😖
Only $5.8M? What a joke.
But also, we don't need regulations to solve this. DON'T PUT CLOUD-ENABLED CAMERAS IN YOUR HOME!
If it's connected to the public Internet, it's vulnerable. Period.
I know, Amazon is laughing, what only $5.8m deal
So you install internet-connected cameras into your home and are surprised you're being spied on? Make it make sense. 😂
Like most modern phones tablets and computers, cameras a built in...its a little difficult to escape. I might look toward a flip phone though....
Amazon spied on its customers? OMG WHAT A SHOCK. I mean really, WHO could have seen THAT coming? *eyeroll^
NEVER sign your likeness, your image, your work, or your PRIVACY away.
Anything that has a camera and connects to the internet can be used to spy at ANYTIME!!!
Anyone that has ANYTHING with a chip that connects to the manufacturer can be spied on. The biggest reason not to bring "smart" ANYTHING into your house.
Exactly
Facts
@@Serai3 True
Why would you put a webcam in your bedroom?
I mean, there's a lot of rich people on Only Fans. But it's by choice.
@@jamesg8246you wouldnt be in onlyfans if you were already rich.
You give away your privacy for technology
This is a surprise? We are spied on by corporations and their employee constantly, and we are stupid enough to pay for the tech that allows them to.
There was a similar story of two people stalked, harrassed and threatened by eBay employees and top management were aware and sanctioned it.
Facts
Their employees were phishing and spamming during the entire pandemic in the US AND UK😒
Facts
Zoom is also paying over $85 million in a class action lawsuit submitted couple years back. A friend I know just received a $32 payout in his mailbox.
Zoom? The video calling app?
Yeah
Ok I can't send the link, it got deleted.
Just search zoom class action lawsuit payout
Top article from cbs8
The problem with a Class Action Lawsuit is that even if it affects one person more than most of the group, it still ends up with payouts like this. Though if they weren't to do a class Action Lawsuit, it could not get by as easily.
Did they fire the creeps who were spying?
No they only fire people that try to form unions or ask for a raise. Those people get promoted to management so they can use their motivation to spy on employees.
@@tweldy Facts
They also freely give recordings to police without user permissions even if no crime is suspected of occurring near it
Yes. I remember Apple resisting that? Doesn't help me. I won't play with them
Interesting
Everyone with common sense saw this coming
Yeah but Amazon shouldn’t put the security authentication burden on customers. They should for their employees.
Never used ring or Alexa in my home. Now I’m definitely not going to use them now. Very scary.
Having a smart phone is bad enough. Yes you can choose to not have Alexa and Ring and live your life perfectly fine.
Would never buy an Alexa. I have NEVER understood why people wanted a spy in their home.
@A H Honestly I dont get it either
That's really dumb to put any camera device inside your home, is it really needed ? Bedroom like seriously ?
Use a closed-circuit system instead.
Absolutely and WIRED not wireless. And if you store data, keep it local, with no internet connection.
Shameful act of abuse.
Completely predictable, though. I mean, how could you not know that would happen? Does anyone live that sheltered a life?
does this mean i should stop watching?
😂
LOL, why? Someone will just take your place.
@1:29, duh, that is the door chime.
Oh, boy! Six million bux! Wow! That's almost enough to buy coffee for Amazon's IT group for a day or two.
Just another way for Big Tech to get their "Wal/nuts" off. Smh
Big tech? They just care about the money. That's why they put no safeguards in place, that's expensive.
Obviously they're going to deny... Because they risk a whole bunch of new lawsuits. And they should be sued by consumers immediately! Y'all should be suing right NOW!
Ring cam, Alexa, ect should come with individual software nobody but you and who you allow have the access to? Internet ideas in general all seem to share the same flaw, everyone is or can be connected to the various programming ideas and that is where the problems come in. The story reminded me of people who violate in other ways remotely. I probably wasn't able to explain the top half right. In simple terms companies shouldn't have access and it shouldn't be wireless this and wireless that? Your computer, phone, fridge ECT should just be for YOU. Not sickos who know how to violate and or hack.
No ring cam here. No door bell either. I got a pin hole cam. And not wireless. It's hardwired.
Wow....interesting
That's with all security. I actual read the article and the FTC said atleast 2.
Looks like the biggest part of this wasn't the video it was this
"The government’s complaint also said that Ring failed to respond to multiple reports of credential stuffing - where hackers use stolen user credentials from one data breach to break into the accounts using the same credentials on other sites. The FTC said Ring allowed the use of easily guessable passwords - as simple as “password” and “12345678” - which made brute-forcing accounts easier, and that Ring failed to act sooner to prevent account hacks.
The FTC claims more than 55,000 U.S. customers had their accounts compromised between January 2019 and March 2020 as a result. In more than a dozen cases, hackers maintained access to hacked accounts for more than a month."
Why did he single out Ukraine and what does it hace to do with the discussed subject? Feels like a need to create a sensation without actually understanding the underlying issue
Don’t forget the back door access ring gives police.
i don't have a smart anything in my home. No door bell, no Alexa, no smart TV, no smart washer/dryer, no smart fridge. These things do not need t be connected to a network. Use a fire stick or PC to stream your video.
get a gsd or rottweiler for real safety.
Yeah - Amazon promises - did they pinkie swear?
Everyone knows you have to join the FBI if you want to get away with illegally spying on US citizens. Just ask President Trump. 🤔🤔🤦♀🤦♀
🤣🤣
I LOVE IT! 😂
Love it!!! Peeping door bell. I bet Putin is peeping on you 😮😅😅😅
Aren't Ring cameras aimed outside the house? If the output of Ring cameras were being watched, what did they show? People entering and exiting their home? It's not like you put a camera in the bathroom or bedroom. I'm more concerned about employees listening to the Echos we place around our home, and what employees might hear.
This sounds suspiciously like "if you haven't got anything to hide, why are you upset?"
A "Ring" system also includes inside cameras along with outside area cameras.
You can choose to have cameras inside the home as well as outside. We only have them outside. If someone wants to watch my grass grow I put on a pretty nice show. Not putting them inside for this reason.
They can be put inside
Why did he expressly point out Ukraine? Is Cevallos pro Russian?
Ring has as a team of workers in Ukraine.
@@eattherich9215 Thanks.
So to be clear you don’t have to strip naked for the ring to open the door
Explains why the neighbors won’t make eye contact 😁
WHY DO YOU THINK UKRANIANS ARE ABLE TO LOOK AT US CITIZENS CAMERAS? To put a hit on those who are against escalating the war, at least those who are effective at doing so.
I would never buy those recordable devices, I like the convenience of my Siri on my iPhone but I don’t trust it completely. I’m too hot headed, the government makes me mad usually. I would be afraid of being hauled off somewhere a couple times a year. 😳😛
So I was right again. Shocker.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, DARLINGS!!
🌈🌈🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌈🌈🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌈🌈🌈
❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️
Gfy darling
@j.7701 Why should I when your daddy will do it for me LOL
💋💋💋🌈🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈❤️❤️
I don't recognize any pride month
Proud of what, exactly?
Happy Pride Month everybody! Celebrate Pride month.... or else.
Or else you get to be the right-wing darling. All that Christian hate has to go somewhere!
When will the government make their pay out for Obama and Clinton spying?
They also spy on their employees through the employees own phone. What they are doing is a huge breach of privacy.
Now all you folks that willingly gave away your DNA info to those ancestry sites…you think they won’t sell that info to insurance companies and then insurance companies use potential future health problems against your premium….tick tock
