Amazon's top-selling video doorbells have no security

9to5mac.com

Terrible, but not surprising. Though the headline feels like it's trying to imply the offending doorbells are Ring products (since those are presumably "Amazon's top-selling video doorbells" if we take that to mean "made by Amazon" and not just "sold by Amazon"... or that could be unintended, I suppose.

I believe Amazon acquired Ring.

I'm confused. The article is not about Ring, is it?

> some Amazon’s Choice video bells have security so bad

> The consumer protection organisation found that the same video doorbells were sold under a wide range of brand names.

It is not about Ring but the title was written in a clickbait manner to make it feel as if it were about Ring (which is an Amazon product)

Current title:

PSA: Don’t trust Amazon’s Choice video doorbells – some allow anyone to spy on you
