I just turned the Sidewalk settings to OFF on my ring preferences. If I detect them using it anyway, I'll lock down the firewall.

This is a crazy idea but you can disable the feature.

For now.

I’m sure there are a lot of pedophiles creeping around the neighborhood, looking for a smart security system to hack into, just so they might possibly find a connection to a tiny bit of some cheap low-bandwidth kiddie porn.

Yep, that’s a very big issue! ;-)
