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

Might be using a local network or some sort of other radio signal to communicate to the other device.

Device is connected to wifi

This is the story

The couple told NBC-2 the surveillance firm told them its security team "identified that the email address and password of one of your external accounts was exposed in a data breach" and noted someone "may have used this method to attempt to gain access to your Ring account."

It wasn't clear if the credentials were linked to the Ring app or home Wi-Fi. There is nothing to suggest that Ring itself was hacked or compromised in any way.


The parents said they were asked to reset their credentials, indicating that the company believes password reuse may have played a role in the reported camera system break-in.

Ring says its customers can add an extra layer of protection by using two-factor authentication. If enabled, users have to provide two separate password codes when logging into their accounts, meaning if one is stolen or hacked the account has a better chance of staying protected.

Use two factor for authentication

Have strong passwords

The amount of effort people put into terrorizing is is ridiculous. Yet when we want our own spaces, they call US racist.

You see that family has a nice house, and had to work very hard to get there, yet they’re still subjected things like this. But they tell us to just pull our pants up, and we won’t be treated that way.

Sounds like he was hosting a podcast. I bet all that shyt was recorded and casted on the deep web with other devils watching the fukkery.

May he get all that he deserves.

Yup

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Yea he is tripping

The only two ways to do that


Out of band attack, attacking throw the power supply

Or sneak in and plant a USB on the device

That dude is tripping

Quote me don't be a passive aggressive about it and you just explained two ways to access said device without being connected to the internet

They would literally have to be outside your home for something of that extent. Which makes it VERY unlikely

My doorbell is a camera, not Ring brand. But that's the ONLY smart security device on my crib.

 

[Wiles]

your dumbass expects someone to have a whole ips set up in their house

You dont know how these peoples camera got hacked


It could have been a bad password or an unpatched device that they have no control over the patching and updating

The point is that it is idiotic to be bashing anyone e when you dont know the facts


Yes you are a pretentious douchebag .

Yes I do know how they got hacked because I educate myself unlike you .

Dumb fukk really mad at me for doing research before I buy products what a fukking Nob Goblin

 

[Spliff]

[Red Shield]

home cameras and DNA testsyall willingly giving up your privacy that would take a war to usually grab

Why dont you just go outside with no clothes if you dont give a fukk about privacy and believe in these "companies"

yeah... people want convenience..but shyt truthfully ain't worth it

 

[skeetsinternal]

Ring is bullshyt. It's easily hackable and the company steals your information.

Simply Safe and Arlo Pro 2 is better in my opinion

I'm about to ditch ADT and get Simpli. Any good reviews?
