This was always going to happen.. you can't have that much access to sensitive data and expect to be prepared for stuff like this.

It's going to be really bad for customers but it's okay. I'm sure we'll get the "We value privacy" compulsory email any day now.

I'm just shocked it happened before all rings become zombies on some botnet.

maybe we are just missing the news.

This should be interesting. Also, thanks for not making me visit twitter. Edit: because twitter doesn't load on this particular device I use for HN. Basically the browser is too old. There is no "hate" ... ffs

Because often when you click on a link that goes to Twitter and start reading a thread they will pester you to make an account and won’t let you read the whole thread if you don’t.

Also, Elon Musk.

Speaking for myself here, but:

Info on ALPHV https://www.cyber.gov.au/acsc/view-all-content/advisories/20... May not be Ring directly, could be in 3rd party supplier with an undetermined level of data access https://twitter.com/TheRegister/status/1635506291232894976

I wonder what kind of data they had access to. It's usually much easier to reach AND dump, say, an invoicing system, than what I can only imagine is an extremely large set of user data.

Either way, bad look for a company that pitches itself as a home security company.

"Hey, we said your home would be secure, not our architecture."
