    No, your Ring cameras aren’t haunted (and probably not hacked)



    • Ring users have started seeing multiple entries in their activity history for May 28 that they don’t recognize.
    • Ring insists that no accounts have been compromised, and this is simply a bug displaying incorrect information.
    • Users are still pressing for more answers, as some report entries for devices they’ve never even owned.




    Connecting smart cameras to the internet allows us to access our feeds from anywhere, getting alerts and checking out what’s going on back at home, no matter where we are. But for all those benefits, we also have to trust that the companies managing that connectivity are keeping our cameras private — otherwise, we’re going to end up with another scandal like the one Wyze faced three years ago. If you’re a Ring user, you may already be wondering if your privacy has been violated, as a result of some very confusing information that’s been popping up in the app’s Control Center.

    Ring shares that it’s currently dealing “an issue where information is displaying inaccurately” (via ZDNET). In a Facebook post from earlier today, we get a little more detail, with Ring adding that this is specifically “a bug that incorrectly displays prior login dates as May 28, 2025.”
