I come to my views independently. Greenwald is the only guy remotely well known who speaks the same tune. It's more just relief to see there are real thinking humans alive in journalism
Ring provided its Ukraine-based research and development team virtually unfettered access to a folder on Amazon’s S3 cloud storage service that contained every video created by every Ring camera around the world. This would amount to an enormous list of highly sensitive files that could be easily browsed and viewed. Downloading and sharing these customer video files would have required little more than a click.
At the time the Ukrainian access was provided, the video files were left unencrypted, the source said, because of Ring leadership’s “sense that encryption would make the company less valuable,” owing to the expense of implementing encryption and lost revenue opportunities due to restricted access. The Ukraine team was also provided with a corresponding database that linked each specific video file to corresponding specific Ring customers.

I have a nest cam in the basement pointed at where the septic pipe would overflow if it ever clogs. We had that happen once and it was no fun. The motion sensor shit in the cam would detect that literal shit immediately and I would get a text message telling me to go turn off the water supply to the house and call a plumber. Anyone who wants to watch my septic pipe online is welcome to it.
