The personal data for thousands of owners of the Ring camera was reportedly compromised this week, exposing information such as login names and passwords.

This is not the first time Ring has been criticized over privacy. Last month, the Mozilla Foundation, makers of the Firefox browser, said Ring was among its worst privacy offenders, claiming the doorbells have “vulnerabilities that could let someone go Big Brother on you in your own home.”

Critics have also questioned partnerships with law enforcement and Amazon, the owners of Ring, potentially creating areas under constant surveillance.
