Ring Forces 2FA On All Users to Secure Cameras from Hackers
#1
Information 
Quote:Ring announced today the roll-out of mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) to all user accounts, as well as the inclusion of additional security and privacy controls over third-party service providers, and the choice to opt-out of personalized advertising.
 
"While we already offered two-factor authentication to customers, starting today we’re making a second layer of verification mandatory for all users when they log into their Ring accounts," Ring President Leila Rouhi said.
 
"This added authentication helps prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your Ring account, even if they have your username and password."
 
This change comes after attackers terrified homeowners after taunting them or speaking to their children over their Ring devices' speakers following a series of hacks targeting Ring cameras.

A statement released by Ring at the time said that the attackers were gaining access to the cameras through credential stuffing attacks and that no unauthorized access to Ring's systems or networks was detected.
