A video alleging a Ring camera breach after suspicious logins were discovered has gone viral, with many users of the popular device now reporting similar incidents with their own cameras.

Users report strange May 28 logins on Ring cameras

In a social media video shared on Thursday, TikTok user @waterdogpools encouraged Ring camera owners to check their accounts for unknown devices that may have been accessing their live home videos.

In the post, the woman said she found unknown logins to her Ring camera from devices that accessed it on the morning of May 28. The woman claims many others who she warned also checked the logins and found suspicious activity on that date.

“If you have this, someone has been watching you inside your home since May 28,” she claimed in the video.

In the r/Ring subreddit, more accounts have emerged from Ring users who say they have found suspicious logins on May 28 and are demanding an explanation from the company. Some are reporting more than 20 devices that appear to have logged in on the same day. 

Here’s what Ring has to say about the May 28 logins

In a statement sent to Metroland Media, the company denied claims that they had suffered a security incident or breach and said the suspicious logins that users are seeing are a result of a bug that caused “prior login dates” to be listed with a May 28 time stamp.

“We are aware of a bug that resulted in prior login dates for client devices to be incorrectly displayed as May 28, 2025, and device names to be incorrectly displayed as device name not found.”

“This was the result of a back end update, and our teams are working on a fix. This was not caused by unauthorized access to customer accounts,” the company said.

While some users are seeing logins from devices that they previously owned, others are claiming logins were from devices they have never owned, or browsers they have never used. Some are even claiming to see logins tied to countries they have never visited.

Metroland Media reached out to Ring again for clarification, but the company has yet to respond to the request for additional details.

How to check which devices have access to your camera

Cybersecurity experts often emphasize the importance of regularly reviewing device or app access, which includes app permissions and authorized logins to accounts, as part of good cybersecurity hygiene to keep individuals and organizations safe.
