When I said I wanted the present to be more interesting, this isn't exactly what I meant. https://t.co/WpkddfdkNg
You know in the tens of thousands of emails I’ve read between Ring and police, not once did I see police ask about the security of these devices https://t.co/4D2PD0MU0J

SCOOP: Many of the Ring hacks being reported around the country are being hacked as part of a livestreamed podcast called "Nulledcast" in which unsuspecting Ring owners are hacked and harassed live on airhttps://t.co/WmNHcJFYEl

New: the Ring camera hacking is worse than previously known. We gained access to a Discord server where the hackers livestream a 'podcast' of the Ring hacking/harassment for hundreds of other peoples' enjoyment. They're scrambling to delete evidence now https://t.co/WaGbGLWsP7 pic.twitter.com/8n6yR1QrIw

As we were reporting on the dedicated Ring cracking software yesterday, the forum went into "unscheduled maintenance" and tried to remove evidence of the Ring hacking. We were there before hand so still captured info https://t.co/WaGbGLWsP7 pic.twitter.com/C5bm6QxhBB

PSA: if someone gets a Ring for you as a gift, you have either offended them or they didn't know better. Figure out which one, and proceed accordingly.
