There has been quite a bit of recent buzz about Ring security cameras and hackers invading people\u2019s personal privacy. In the recently reported cases, individuals who had Ring cameras installed in bedrooms and living spaces, were shocked to hear unknown individuals spying on unsuspecting family members activities. The incidents have prompted an official statement from the Ring team. While Ring did confirm that the incidents were, in fact, real, the company denies that it was a breach in their system. In the official statement sent out to customers, Ring said users can rest assured they\u2019ve investigated these incidents and did not find any indication of an unauthorized intrusion or compromise of Ring\u2019s systems or network. The organization said it was rather, \u201cMalicious actors [that] obtained some Ring users\u2019 account credentials (like a username and password) from a separate, external, non-Ring service and reused them to log into some Ring accounts. It\u2019s important to note that when people reuse the same username and password on multiple services, it\u2019s possible for malicious actors to gain access to many accounts. If you have a Ring camera, the company recommends using two-factor authentication and adding shared users instead of sharing your account information to avoid hacking. Whether you have a service through Ring or not, it\u2019s an important reminder to use different passwords, update them regularly and keep guard your information as much as you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
