Amazon Faces Privacy Incidents. Amazon Alexa & Ring Cyber Security Issues. Amazon Fined $30 Million
Amazon will pay $30 million in fines to settle allegations of privacy violations related to the operation of its Ring video doorbell and Alexa virtual assistant services.
The company's Ring home security camera subsidiary has been accused by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of engaging in unlawful surveillance of customers and failing to prevent hackers from gaining control of users' cameras.
The complaint alleges that Ring compromised its customers privacy by granting access to private videos to its employees and contractors. It also allegedly neglected to implement basic privacy and security measures, allowing hackers to gain control of consumers cameras and videos by breaching their accounts.
