Amazon's Ring cameras were used to spy on customers

 It’s something we all feared but hoped wouldn’t be the case—Every Amazon Ring employee was able to access all customer videos, even when it wasn't necessary for their jobs.

Not only that, but the employees—along with workers from a third-party contractor in Ukraine—could also download any of those videos and then save and share them as they liked, before July 2017.

That's what the FTC has alleged in a recent complaint, for which Amazon is facing a settlement of $5.8 million.

In one example, the FTC says a Ring employee viewed thousands of videos from at least 81 different female users. The employee allegedly went looking for camera feeds that suggested they may have been used in the most private of areas, such as "Master Bedroom," "Master Bathroom," and "Spy cam"



And, unsurprisingly, some employees abused that access right.
