A mother has released a chilling video of a hacker talking to her eight-year-old daughter through a Ring security camera in her bedroom.
The footage was recorded at the family home in Desoto County, Mississippi.
Ashley LeMay had installed the Ring security camera in order to watch over her three daughters and to feel connected to them during her night shifts as a nurse.

We need to bring back public executions of molesters.
The internet of things is a privacy rights nightmare.
Be seeing you.
RING is a terrific App for many reasons but I hadn’t heard it could be hacked in this way unless the mother was lackadaisical about Wifi security or didn’t set up a password properly.
Also how would a hacker know there were young girls in the home? There must be more to the story.
If someone could summarize the background details of how this happened it would be greatly appreciated.
A very standard Ring stipulation is that the cops get access to any footage within a half mile or so of any crime they SAY they’re investigating.
It was fought over very fiercely, and resolved maybe 2 or 3 months ago, and yeah, now Ring is our PANOPTICON.
And you better sing out strong during our Two Minute Hate, or uh.....well, you’ll FIND OUT.
molesters checking in on you
HILLARY & McCabe checking in on you
What?
Are you daft?
There are thousands of Ring Apps installed and the hacker here decided to pick this one? How is that?
There’s more to the story and no, there was no intention of blaming the incident on the victims as only an idiot would think up. By saying there is more to the story means the girls likely told some classmates or neighbors, one of whom knew how to hack the girl’s home.
“didn’t set up a password properly”
I had a boss who wouldn’t install proper passwords/encryption software. Of course she got hacked and then blamed the internet for being not secure.
Alyssa's parents re-watched the tape later that evening and Ashley's partner immediately disconnected the camera.
::::::::::::::
I think I unfortunately figured it out as I was typing. Alyssa is the little girl. Ashley is her mother and parent. Ashley is a ‘married’ lesbian who refers to her ‘wife’ as a ‘partner’.
The guy on the camera might not be the little girl's biggest problem. And she has two sisters.
Who is number One?
Baby monitors have a very limited range. The family should be looking closely at their neighbors for creeps.
There’s more to the story and no, there was no intention of blaming the incident on the victims as only an idiot would think up.

I think there is at least a possibility that the victim (mother, not the little girl) shoulder some blame if you see what I posted in #10. Mom might run in some strange circles.
I think the girls here were gossiping or talking about their parent setting up the RING App. And someone found out and hacked it.
It’s not the girl’s fault. The mother did a service to report it. It will make lots of people focus on setting up passwords properly.
There are also problems with garage door openers. With the right freq burst, a thief can cause a garage door to open, enter the home and steal whatever they can drag away.
There are a lot of burglaries here of garages. They drive through the neighborhood with an opener and if one opens....bingo! Happened to my neighbor. She woke up one morning to her garage door being open and everything gone. She never heard a thing. Smart people have learned to disable them at night.
Thank you. I have neighbors up the street that are ‘married’ lesbians with two fraternal twin boys conceived from artificial insemination using a homosexual man’s sperm.
Yes they are strange and the boys are now 9 years old.
Yes, highly likely the mothers’ circle has some weirdos
So I thank you for the info as it puts context around it. However, the mother, whichever one, did do a service by making a video and calling attention to home security. So let’s give her that.
Change your default passwords and this becomes less of an issue. There are still ways to hack around it, but 90% of the issues with the IOT would be mitigated by just changin the dafault 0000 password to 135246.
right after you said you weren’t blaming the victim (and called me an idiot for thinking as much), you promptly blamed the victim.
hackers don’t try to match apps and people to hack, FFS. they probe open ports on your router/firewall, and attack IPs that respond in such a way that they indicate vulnerabilities that can be exploited. right now, this minute, it’s happening on your broadband router. and most of them are from china . . . some of the more forlorn countries in the former soviet block.
happening.this.minute.
And that's the most likely way that the 'hacker' got in, he downloaded one of the many lists of emails/passwords off the internet (Oooh, the DARKWEB, also on a whole lot of regular internet sites) and entered the e-mail and password into Ring's website and was able to look through the cameras and use the push to talk button.
It also COULD be someone they know; if so, their local police department should be able to get the information from Ring as to IP address and go arrest the guy. (This is actually the best case scenario as odds are they wouldn't be using anything to mask their location.)
So most likely issue is lax password security.
Get lost. I have no time for idiots.
