Amazon.com Inc.’s subsidiary, Ring, the video doorbell maker, has dismissed at least four of its employees for improperly seeking access to customer data over the last four years.
“Although each of the individuals involved in these incidents was authorized to view video data, the attempted access to that data exceeded what was necessary for their job functions," Brian Huseman, Amazon’s Vice President of Public Policy, wrote in response to an inquiry from five Democratic senators about the company’s privacy and data security practices.
The letter do not specify about the customer data the employees involved in four separate incidents sought, how many employees were involved, or how many of them successfully gained access to it. Huseman also said, Ring has taken “multiple actions" to limit data access to a smaller pool of employees.
