WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Amazon.com (NASDAQ:)’s doorbell camera unit Ring, according to a filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The FTC said Ring gave employees unrestricted access to customers’ sensitive video data said “as a result of this dangerously overbroad access and lax attitude toward privacy and security, employees and third-party contractors were able to view, download, and transfer customers’ sensitive video data for their own purposes.”
