Hackers use a family's Ring-Security camera system to spew racist shyt at them

How so?

Spoof my number? You still need to get into my account.

Call someone to get it removed? Still need some information.

Someone else brought that up but didn't tell me how

Or the SMS can be pulled out the air, before it gets to you, using what's called a "dirtbox". It's the poormans version of what police use in the Stingray devices.

Use an authenticator, like Authy, instead.

The cell network (SS7) is based on old tech running over new equipment

Not only that but SIM swiping is a thing. Basically someone gets your number and basic information about you, calls your Cell Phone provider gets your number switched to theirs and they use your two factor authenitcation to change your information and drain your accounts.

Makes sense, good looking out.

Sitting next to a cell tower and pulling plain txt out the sky is some diabolical stuff

Not trying to effectively victim shame but just making a general statement.

Having an internet-connected, centralized via an outside organization, camera system IN your house just sounds like a setup for fukkery unless you just don't mind not having an ounce of privacy. I mean I understand having ring facing outside your house but having that shyt where some pimply face nerd or bored ring employee can spy on you justs sounds...dumb.

There are solutions out there by the way if you a bit more tech savvy where you can build your own security system and have it all hosted at your own home. All you need is a NAS device like a Synology, some cameras you can buy on amazon, and NAS high capacity drives like WD Reds or Seagate Ironwolf drives. With just that alone, you can do everything a Ring system can do and you host it all on your local network.

Stop feeding amazon
