They don't store recordings on their servers, that's on you. The servers are simply a route from the Ring device to your devices. They don't put facial recognition, that's downright illegal. They don't pass down info, because that's also illegal. (1/2)

It makes sense for a smaller company, because they don't have that many customers, so there's not much of a risk, but for Amazon Ring to be doing that, that's risking everything Amazon owns, something they wouldn't do

Erm… you need to read to Vox article I linked to. Also, they definitely record and store video. Ring Plus Protection lets you “Access videos of every Ring, Motion, and Live View event for up to 60 days”.

So you know how Password Hashing on server side works?

You’re naïve if you think they’re hashed or stored encrypted in a way Amazon can’t view them.https://boingboing.net/2019/04/11/1000-clips-per-shift.html …

Actually, they are. Whether Amazon likes it or not, it has to be. It's a major security flaw if they're not hashed, especially private data, plain text or non-encrypted files is just an easy way for hackers to get in. It's fairly simple app security basics

You said: “They don't store recordings on their servers” They do. You said: “…that's risking everything Amazon owns, something they wouldn't do” regarding being able to view the videos. They can.

“They don't store recordings on their servers” They don't, unless you allow them too, that's on you. “…that's risking everything Amazon owns, something they wouldn't do” No, not regarding viewing the videos, regarding basic internet security principles. (1/2)

If they didn't hash passwords or private information, that means that any person could spend a couple of hours on a basic platform and hack Amazon completely. (Obviously a bit of a stretch, but the point is it's insecure, in a technical point of view)

I’m not talking about passwords or hacking. I’m talking about Amazon themselves being able to view videos, which they can do.
