I may have already posted this, but I didn’t see it when I looked, so here it is again.
#Amazon is connecting Ring and Echo devices across individual networks, so that neighbors with slow networks or network downtime can still use their devices via bandwidth provided by their neighbors’ Amazon devices. This, of course, completely short-cuts your own network’s security settings .
This is opt-out (on by default), not opt-in (off by default), so those who have such devices must follow the instructions to change them.
