Ring Camera Refunds [Video]

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) -The Federal Trade Commission is sending refunds to more than 117,000 Ring camera users.

It comes from a settlement with Ring over charges that the company failed to protect customer accounts.

The FTC says that Ring’s failure let employees have too much access to customer videos and made accounts vulnerable to online attacks.

The company was also accused of failing to implement security protections to keep hackers out of customer accounts.

The settlement required Ring to pay money, delete videos it shouldn’t have, and establish a strong privacy and security program.

So far the FTC has identified more than 5.6 million dollars worth of refunds, which will be sent through PayPal.
