Which is absolute nonsense if this is their data protection policy. They'll only ever catch maybe 5% of the people doing it. This is also likely meant to hide the fact that their Ring security is extremely porous and they may want to keep it like that because that may also be how law enforcement gets access to those videos right now. Changing this may mean disrupting the police's access to them for a while.

Combine this with all the security issues AWS buckets have had, along with employees also accessing Alexa recordings, and it's almost starting to look like Amazon doesn't care all that much about securing your data...
- AmericanChopper 7y ago> They'll only ever catch maybe 5% of the people doing it I wouldn’t be so confident about that. I’ve worked with a few large organisations where customer service staff needed to have access to sensitive customer data, and they usually had pretty good systems for detecting improper access to data, and would monitor it quite actively. I have no idea what monitoring systems Amazon has in place, but they could easily be doing quite a good job of it.
