Great video! I have subbed ;-)
Thank you for clearing the air on the truth behind the ring situation. I think a lot of people aren't sure why this happened, because popular media didn't explain it like it should've been told.
I think the more scary one is when people don't speak and just watch. This could be used for blackmail or watching children. It's pretty jacked up. I will only ever have one on a doorbell. Never inside my home.
Thanks for bringing Mr. Mobile back! 💗
I have a separate issue to mention. For months my Ring Doorbell2 has recorded my USPS Mail Carrier delivering my mail to my house mounted mailbox next to my doorbell. All of a sudden last week my Ring stopped recording the mail delivery. I get my mail, but Ring does not record it. I did some searching and learned that there are WiFi blocking devices that exist. They are illegal. I suspect my mail carrier has started carrying such a device. If a criminal can disable your WiFi camera for less than $20 then these cameras are not useful. Looking for feedback from others. Google search it and see for yourself.
They do have these devices and they disabled my cameras and robbed my house with it the other day and dropped the device,the police have it now. It's crazy the things thieves are doing now
My neighbor is doing this to mine, he works for Amazon and is turning off my camera when they come home

This is a prime example of why you don't put cameras in your house. If you put cameras on the outside then there is no reason for them on the inside. Also to come find out the lady didn't have the system secured it was easy to access from another source. All these cases that pop up like this are customer error.
Too many children that look like adults blaming others!
@@TheBluesnbob not sure I follow you, explain?
@@chrisao1987 idk, lol. You make sense, perimeter security over interior.
@@TheBluesnbob lol got ya. This comment was 4 years ago and I rewatched it and was like not sure what he’s talking about. But yeah no cameras in my house. You’re just asking to be seen in your birthday suite.
If you don't set it up right. You need to set up a dedicated and secure Wi-Fi. Turn on use router, good quality anti virus and for God sake use two-factor authentication. Make up a e mail just dedicated not personal usage or business. Setup a Google Voice account or secondary number not primary number.
My grandma recently died and I removed her ring cameras from the home and if I wasn't the one that Installed them and set up her account on my phone (she wasn't that tech savvy) it would just be another waste of technology that no one would have been able to use. Instead of having to chase down the previous account holder to use a second hand camera or doorbell, they should make an option where they can disable the device in the case that a ring device is stolen. Ring needs to figure this out.
You are the very 1st person or piece of information that I have found that says anything about trying to prevent this and improve the situation. All I see are articles or videos about it happening or where you can buy a jammer.
But if a person that’s sick in the head would hack a person’s phone and get her login information each time she changes it!
Stories like this are why we need to move beyond passwords for authentication. Unfortunately, I don't see that gaining widespread adoption any time soon.
We're getting there, but slowly.
Yes I think we should all have RFID chips implanted into our hands or foreheads so we can use this method for passwords etc. The great thing is governments and big tech would never track us by monitoring them.
@@Moderndad Yes, I like things like SQRL by Steve Gibson, or the FIDO alliance and Yubico's hardware tokens.
I swear that technology getting better every year is a double edge sword.
so the answer to tech issues is more tech and stronger passwords ??? now RING is being jammed by the wifi. what now? more tech.
My ring just looks on my porch. The only thing that can be hacked is my neighbor pulling in his driveway.
Or the yard is looking good. lol
Just got a few cameras recently. One looks at the porch and I can see my neighbor leaving and coming home.
I also gave him access so he can use the cameras as well. The two-factor authentication is smart and I appreciate the increased security with these cameras.
It was not a hacker...it was a person that had the person's login information. Just enable two factor authentication and change your passwords regularly. Problem solved
Exactly.
Your two factor authentication process is BS against my RNG database. No, seriously I have a life (generally involves making other lives better) but getting past authentication verification is akin to skipping rope. The burden falls on the company. I tell all of my clientele this, Closed Network If you're looking for security. Granted you'll be paying premium, however there are private security companies that will facilitate the necessary means to ensure your safety IRT 24/7. The whole idea of Ring is ridiculous in this day and age, the consumer is irresponsible.
I have to agree. Passwords are almost useless. Enable 2 form on everything.
Thanks for bringing mr Mobile back!!!
Well one problem in your video is that if ring marked all ip addresses that have logged in or blocked them then people who are not home who go to check their cameras won’t be able to get in because their ip would get blocked due to it being different than their home IP address. That also can change if they have a storm and the Internet gets knocked out because many routers have dynamic ips. Just thought I would share some knowledge.
What does a computer key do and where can I find one and how much are they?
Yeah, let's use a Password Manager and keep all of our usernames and passwords in one place, along with other sensitive personal details that some of them store alongside your passwords. It was found that on Windows 10 machines, many Password Managers, even when locked, were about as secure as storing passwords in a text file. In some circumstances, the master password was residing in the computer's memory in a plain text readable format.
One problem with two factor authentication (2FA) is sim swapping. Sim swapping is accomplished through social hacking. A hacker will enter a store pretending to be you, and then they convince a worker to port your SIM card information to a new phone, one that they obviously own. Phishing attacks can also be used to bypass 2FA through the use of fake login pages. Further, hackers have developed means to bypass the following types of 2FA: hard tokens, call forwarding, knowledge-based questions, text message interception, and push to accept.
Now, I am not saying to not use a Password Manager nor a 2FA, but I'm telling you to be aware of the risks and vulnerabilities, and research ways to protect yourself against the flaws in these systems.
Bitwarden + Google Authenticator?
Thanks for saving Mr. Mobile!
I got one but now can’t see the history videos anymore ones the date and don’t know how to get em back
Id say only have a ring camera for the doorbell. Plenty of other better cameras for inside.
Thanks for helping MrMobile 👍
Ring must be sponsoring you very heartily for this video.
I have a ring doorbell but for the hurricane we taken it down I’m glad it’s not up yet still
Thanks for helping out Mr. Mobile!
For everyone who has a ring doorbell and also indoor cameras, the cring company when you called them for technical problems why you thing they ask you for your email and then they send you a code and you read it back to the person on the other line who is a representative of ring, thats how they get your consent to look into your cameras and they can actually see inside your home or where ever so really you are not safe and you never now who is watching, i asked them if that the way they can see if theres anything wrong with the sensor and they said yes they look thru your camera and can see everything. Theres no privacy.
This is why you need a camera with a privacy shield 🛡️
I need help! A burglar robbed me killed my dog and he's been back. Can he be doing something to my ring camera? When I'm not home or sleeping?
Merry Christmas..Thank for the post...very informative...
Thanks for the heads-up. Updated my password right away on my Ring account. Didn’t see this issue published anywhere!
Phew. Crisis averted!
Thanks for helping mr. mobile 🤗❤️
great message, bummed Tesla doesn't support 2FA yet :(
That's kinda crazy. Didn't realize that.
Oh I do ha e a question my outside ring door bell sometimes when going back and reviewing the videos 📹 I hear a terrible static creaming sound. Do you know what that is? Also some videos 📹 are blocked out with a bright light. And some videos say it's not their anymore. Can you shed the light on this?
Thanks!
Wow, so imagine all the times they’ve chosen NOT to SPEak?....
People suddenly stunned because they made themselves known...
For years it’s been easily available if you have IT background and or intent to find out how. Most people don’t realize their WiFi can show anyone their browsing content, especially if you give your password to guests.
You don’t even need a password to gain access to cameras. Of course it’s very difficult, but to a skilled professional there are always ways around.
This is a little misleading. The weakest link in tech (!) is the cell phone. Next, the Router, then the device itself, which is only looking for a signal which can come via its power cordage or wirelessly, as in channel scanning. Which frequency Wi-FI will the device obey? Pinto product perhaps? So it comes down to shielding, and a lot of kids aren't going to understand how it is that bullying follows them home to their families.
Can a Ring camera works without a WiFi but just a SIM card?
I'm not sure but they're way cheaper cameras that only do that
Use whatever password you want, the companies may be using untrustworthy people from other countries, more companies hire lying people.
Thank you so much man 🙏
Thank you, again, for a reasoned and informed response to the problem of IoT items being hacked. This is only going to get more common and important as more and more IoT devices are deployed. We are in the early days of using IoT devices, and we are still feeling around for what is a problem and how to address it. This is not a blame game, but rather a responsibility discovery. We are going through the days that establish "expected" or "responsible" behavior. We are establishing what is good behavior for manufacturers and users. Keep up the good work.
He must have a perfect memory to not reuse passwords and remember every log in
Thanks Man, signed up for the "haveibeenpwned" site. I had been pwned but I have started using "lastpass" earlier this year.
So, you took the Newsweek article published in 2019 and made an exact video out of it without adding any valuable information. Nice!
The cops have access to your cameras and hackers have access too.
Thank you! goin to the site now... I found you while searching for a question i can't seem to find the answer to BUT I have a feeling you are going to know! So.. the QR codes on the sides of ring cameras. do i need to remove those after install/setup so someone doesnt just hack it easily? or am i way off? thank you!
I have had Ring for almost 3 yrs, no problems.. I recently added a second location about a month ago, no problems until one Sunday morning around 1:15 AM . I alarmed it from the keypad sitting on a table 2 ft from chair while warching TV, then at 1:15 AM the alarm goes off, I disarmed it and checked everything, found no problems. I armed it again and called Ring about the false alarm, they said the history showed 20 pin rejections from the keypad and then a panic alarm entry setting it off all the while I was just watchingTV, and never touched the keypad. Ring said someone hacking in the closed system wasn't possible, and it was either a defect in the keypad or a glitch in the system. With 20 pin rejections and a panic alarm entered I'm nof buying that. I'm the only one here no one else has entry to the Ring acct or keypad. The mystery went unsolved Ring cust svc had never heard of such a problem but is monitoring the keypad for 2 weeks.
Thank you!!
My son bought me a ring camera he set it up with his own password and stated to me not to worry that he cannot view me from his home to my home. Is he being truthful or can he watch my every move? He said that if he would hack he would need the ring app installed on his iPhone. Is this true? Please answer my question I would appreciate it.
Girl yeah he can watch you, he already know your password and username
@@beautifullyblessed3880 Thank you 🙏🏽 for clearing the air about the truth on ring camera can be viewed.
Ring sucks anymore. Most of the time, it's blank or says offline
My ring door bell captured me putting empty milk bottles out last night, but failed to capture the milk being delivered and failed to catch someone stealing just one bottle, yet captured me going out to pick up the milk that was left at 7am ish. I am being harassed and suspect it is them but is there any way I secure my ring door bell?
Lol. Love the joke.
"Don't give your Ring login to anybody else"
*types email for RUclips*
Great video! I totally agree with what you said, it's both our faults.
Your information was so helpful clear and easy to understand And Entertaining (: well done✔
Love the video, subbed
Good advice 👍
Thankyou so much for helping MrMobile coming back to youtube😍😍😍😍😍. We are so grateful to you.
I love ring products, I’m sorry this happened to such a great product, RING has stopped theft on my property, alerted me when someone was at my home, i even speak to my pets while away, it has helped solve crimes in my neighborhood, when I heard a noise early one morning in my home I checked my camera to find my cat chasing a mouse that he had brought in to play with through the pet door(my camera showed me that also) yes, he killed it but I locked myself in my bedroom for hrs until ...RING just works well!!! I am mad, and now I see someone has filed a lawsuit to make RING accountable 🤦♀️I checked that site , my 2 email accounts were PWNED, thanks for the wed sit info.
People always ask me why i know certain stuff..
i always say Ring Ring Ring!!
Fact Dave the head of the Dept over at Amazon in the Frontline doc up on YT DIDN'T say it was a user error.
He claimed it was an industry issue.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Thanks for valuable information. But how can we use a different password for a 50 or more accounts?
My ring camera only my doorbell I dnt have ring inside my house
Don’t sign up for pawn cause it’s in Canada and it keeps asking for more money
So in 2023 is RING any safer?
I had a ring video doorbell about 3 or 4 years ago but my one died a year or so later. My password is randomly generated but still worked. Logged in today, changed the password and added an authenticator. Security looks good to me... Not much more I can do on my end. Maybe one day I'll buy another one of these.
Do you think Ring is doing something about it to improve the system ? Is it worth buying now?
Anna K yes it is really good
It happened to our friends here in Texas.
La view is good brand haven’t had any issues unlike ring
ubiquity allows you to save to you own server.
Help....
I NOW MY CAMERAS ARE BEING HACKED ...
THEY ARE TURNING THEM OFFFFF
The onus is on Ring/Amazon since their database was compromised! Were their servers updated (patched)??? Hackers tend to HIT big target databases (ie Target for example) NOT individual users. The hackers use and sell the breached data to then attacked individual accounts. Unfortunately, the companies REALLY do NOT take responsibility. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), a US government agency, got hacked due to inadequate software updates. They ONLY offered ID protection for 3 years. Have you ever tried to CLEAN-UP identify theft??? Good luck ... SAD!
Hey, thanks for helping Captain Two Phones ;) happy new year
I got hacked lastnight death threats everything really
Hate to tell people it's not up to Ring to ensure you the user make a strong password and to secure your wifi settings.
I thought it was ONLY ME‼️⁉️‼️🤣👀👀👀👁👁⁉️👁👁🥴🥴🥴🥴
Thank you for the reminder.
So I had my car broken into with a ring camera pointed directly at it. Are they getting defeated with some sort of wifi jammers? If so is there a hack to hardwire the ethernet to them?
My indoor ring cam is hacked.
Just came here to watch a few videos, subscribe and say 'thank you' for helping Mr Mobile.
3 months after I got an Alexa it got hacked & argued with me. Talking to me thru it. Alexa went in the trash.
Buzzfeed? They never get it right, it's probably fine lol
Jeez what’s the story with the Jaws music. Leave it out
This is the second home in which ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).

Firefox Monitor auto-checks these breach databases to see if your Firefox account email exists in these database AND sends notices when new entries are added.
Yawp. Lots of ways these days, which is good.
Ring cameras are safe don't let anyone tell you they are not. Just keep your password safe and use a different from your other passwords you use.
I'm a computer guy, and that pwned thing is total Bullshit btw
only halffway through so maybe it does get answered but does hacking a service like Ring allow new controler to use footage as biometric?
My camera got hacked recent like this week
CUT THE DUMB MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND - AND SLOW DOWN YOUR DELIVERY
Check out Subverse News Feb 4 video on what Ring has been doing
So many things that ring could have done to protect your privacy and they haven't. I have documentation of many calls to Ring to fix a problem with my ring doorbell which they tried sending me another used remanufactured ring doorbell that also didn't work all the time. I was on the phone again many times with them and no resolution. If a law enforcement agency has access to the cameras and just uses it for spying and collecting Intel and doesn't tell anybody, is that okay? And is that illegal? People need to realize that with today's technology expect people to be spying. The bottom line is if you are not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about in the future And if you want privacy get rid of all your electronics. Intel= power and 💰
My neighbors have ring and got hacked
Ring are just a load of rip off crap you should be storing your own video not being held to ransom to pay a subscription not only that but they Don’t work at all if car thieves or burglars have a jammer they record nothing at all.
Different passwords won't be a derent if the hacker has hacked into your Chrome browser, given them access to all your unser names, URLs, and passwords... IN PLAIN TEXT!
Yes! Every time you ask Chrome to "save" your passwords, it saves them in PLAIN TEXT, completely unsecured un any way.
Helpful. Good job.
Password Managers. Lastpass. Keepass. _Protect Your Life._
Don't use it inside. Only when you'r dumb.
And Ring denied it happened.
Okay, I'm seeing if anyone could possibly help me out. I sit there and request it. Files from my iCloud Drive To be sent to my phone. Now after 3 days waiting I finally got an email saying they're ready for download. So when I went and download them all And there are a lot of files. And there is numerous files And I'm not sure exactly what they are. Or mean So if anyone can help Me out and let me know. What these mean? Okay. Document name is US_National_Security_Request. Another document name Emergency_Request another document name App_Takedown_Legal_Violation_Requests another document name Financial_Identifer_Requests. a another document Account_Requests And I got numerous other ones But I don't know what they mean.
Hmmm....more on that later
Nice tactics: cryptic music, deep vocal tones, and paranoic atmosphere. While you do use fear, paranoid to draw in your users. People really need to use common sense, a stronger, lengthen password with alphanumeric lettering including symbols. How about cut off the music, and speak regularly, but like I said nice tactics to draw in the fear loving crowds. I don't subscribe to your methods, I am not controlled by the same fear you attempt to rebroadcast in your RUclips page. You do have good points, but the other garbage unless their is an agenda I will find you entertaining, and partly educational. I have completely disassembled my ring video camera, and added my other thought out exploits to forward to the Ring technicians, and development department. Have a good day.
