Reviving this thread from the dead.

Is it possible you have a smart doorbell. Apparently they are sending data.

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.

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.
