Amazon's Ring app is handing over user data to Facebook, Google and other third-parties without permission, reveals a new report
Amazon's Ring is under fire yet again after security experts discovered that the Android app is sending customer information to third parties.
The names, private IP addresses, mobile network carriers, persistent identifiers and sensor data were discovered in the exchange with Facebook and Google, among others.
The report also found that some Ring users whose identity was shared with Facebook do not have an account with the social media network.
The findings were uncovered by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a non-profit organizations that defends civil liberties in the digital world, which noted the information was encrypted in a way that it would go undetected by security researchers.
