The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is giving $5.6 million in refunds to select Ring customers due to unlawful access of private videos by employees and contractors for internal purposes.
Amazon-owned Ring faced accusations of inadequate security measures, leading to unauthorized account and footage access by hackers, resulting in privacy violations.
Amazon settled privacy suits with the FTC, agreeing to pay over $30 million for infringements, including those related to Ring and the violation of COPPA Rule with Alexa.
Amazon did not comment on allegations of employees and contractors accessing customer data but notified affected customers of potential exposures to third-party incidents.
