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
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.
Baby monitors have a very limited range. The family should be looking closely at their neighbors for creeps.
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.
...did I miss where it said the mom removed the camera from the room?
Check out Dr Phil episode “Terrorized by Technology “. Expert explains how this happened to family using Ring. Scary.
A security camera, on the other hand, gives an outsider potential a view into your house. That is quite a bit more threatening.
The article says hackers can pinpoint the locations of Ring doorbells by getting into the network. So what? Honestly, they are probably less likely to try and break into my house if they know they will be video doing it. My address is not a big secret- anyone can drive down my street.
Nannycams and similar should have secure networks and passwords, though. Totally different.
How many dimwits have now stupidly invited a world of hackers into their homes/lives ???
Tell me again why I would want this crap in my house....
