Ring Camera Hacked
troubleshooting

My Ring was hacked last night and tonight. Last night, my partner was sleeping and couldn’t identify the noise. Tonight, I heard it and figure out that it was the Ring camera. Not only did they set off the alarms, but they were trying to scare us by saying creepy things. I quickly unplugged it.  Is there any way to report this?
