My neighbor Mary caught her Ring doorbell sharing audio to the wrong account last week

I was at her porch helping with a package and she played back a clip of her telling the mailman to leave it, but the audio went to a stranger's app instead. She showed me the error log and it said the clip was routed to an account three states away. How do we trust these devices when the basic privacy features are this broken?

Wow, that's honestly terrifying and totally changed my mind about trusting these things.

That error log sounds like a server routing glitch, not a privacy setting.

So what makes you so sure it's not a privacy setting, @abby_wilson51?
