I am no fan of Amazon or of Ring doorbells. But seriously, you can sue them for not forcing you to use two factor authentication? Even when the customers say they have no idea what two factor authentication is? As I understand it, these devices weren't so much hacked as people chose weak passwords, or the same password as something else that had a data breach.
It also seems that the class action suit waiver agreeing to arbitration should get the suit thrown out, but who knows. https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/12/27/21039517/amazon-ring-hacking-lawsuit I'm guessing people are filling their homes with "things" that will have similar problems. Oh, and I had the radio on in the car and the one guy said "Hey Alexa" and the other guy scolded him for saying "the A word". Evidently if you give Alexa an instruction on the radio, thousands of houses get their lights turned on or thermostat turned up or whatever.
