Amazon to pay $5.8 million to settle Ring privacy charges from FTC
Amazon.com Inc.'s (AMZN) Ring video doorbell division will pay the Federal Trade Commission $5.8 million to settle charges it violated customer privacy provisions, according to a court filing Wednesday. The FTC charged Ring with "compromising its customers' privacy by allowing any employee or contractor to access consumers' private videos and by failing to implement basic privacy and security protections, enabling hackers to take control of consumers' accounts, cameras, and videos." Amazon acquired Ring in 2018
