FTC Distributes $5.6 Million in Refunds to Ring Customers Over Privacy Violations

The refunds address claims of unauthorized access to video footage by Amazon's Ring employees and contractors.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has begun issuing over $5 million in refunds to affected Ring camera owners.
Refunds are being sent via PayPal to approximately 117,000 customers who owned specific types of Ring devices.
The settlement follows allegations that Ring failed to prevent employees and contractors from accessing users' private videos.
Ring has committed to stronger security measures and ceased sharing video with law enforcement following privacy concerns.
Eligible consumers are advised to redeem their PayPal payments within 30 days.
