Reviving this thread from the dead.
Is it possible you have a smart doorbell. Apparently they are sending data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/ring-doorbell-app-packed-third-party-t...

Ya. I saw that one also.
I have a dumb doorbell.
The only way it could be dumber is if was a rope attached to a bell.
I'll bet ring isn't the only smart thing leaking info.

I recently saw this article. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/location-tracking-cel... Most of the things I knew of as isolated issues but seeing them put together goes a long way to painting a scary picture. The idea of giving away an SDK that feeds information back to the SDK developers for monetizing leaves me both horrified and in admiration of the audacity. -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
