EFF: More Than Thirty Human Rights Groups Protest the Targeting of Digital Rights Defenders in Ecuador, Argentina, and Beyond

More Than Thirty Human Rights Groups Protest the Targeting of Digital Rights Defenders in Ecuador, Argentina, and Beyond

Protecting human rights comes in many forms. Some human rights defenders are lawyers, defending clients against violations of their basic humanity. Some are journalists, exposing corruption and the secret injustices that might otherwise hide behind power. Some are activists, working in politics and in their communities to give support to those who might not be able to defend themselves.

And some human rights defenders are technologists: building tools to defend or enhance the practice of human rights, and calling out the errors or lies of those who might misuse technology against its users.

At this year's Internet Governance Forum in Berlin, civil society groups mourned a growing trend around the world: the targeted harassment and detention of digital rights defenders by the powerful. Digital rights defenders includes technologists who work to create or investigate digital tools, and who work to improve the security and privacy of vital infrastructure like the Internet, and e-voting devices. As the declaration, drafted and signed by a coalition of civil liberties organizations, including EFF, Access Now, Amnesty International, Article 19, the Association for Progressive Communications, Derechos Digitales, and Human Rights Watch, notes:

The work digital rights defenders do in defense of privacy is fundamental for the protection of human rights. When they raise awareness about the existence of vulnerabilities in systems, they allow the public and private sector to find solutions that improve infrastructure and software security for the benefit of the public. Furthermore, their work as security advisers for journalists and human rights activists is of vital importance for the safety of journalists, activists and other human rights defenders.

The problem is not confined to, but is particular pressing in Latin America. As 2019 draws to a close, Swedish security researcher Ola Bini remains in a state of legal limbo in Ecuador after a politically-led prosecution sought to connect his work building secure communication tools to a vague and unsubstantiated conspiracy of Wikileaks-related hacking. Meanwhile in Argentina, e-voting activist Javier Smaldone remains the target of a tenuous hacking investigation.

All our organizations remain committed to ensuring justice is served in these cases, and to convey to governments in the Americas and the rest of the world that vague cybercrime laws and hacker panics should never be used to silence digital rights defenders—or any innocent technology user or creator.

EFF: Ring Throws Customers Under the Bus After Data Breach

Ring Throws Customers Under the Bus After Data Breach

Just a week after hackers broke into a Ring camera in a childs bedroom, taunting the child and sparking serious concerns about the company’s security practices, Buzzfeed News is reporting that over 3,600 Ring owners’ email addresses, passwords, camera locations, and camera names were dumped online. This includes cameras recording private spaces inside homes.

This stunning new leak could potentially provide criminals and stalkers with access to view live video feeds from inside and around thousands of Ring customers’ homes, see archived videos, and get the precise location of all Ring devices attached to the compromised account by studying the orientation of the footage and location information attached to each camera. 

Ring has claimed that this attack was the result of credential stuffing, a technique where attackers gather usernames and passwords compromised in another data breach and try them on other websites. Ring claims that the incident is “in no way related to a breach or compromise of Ring’s security.” Ring is attempting to place the blame squarely at the feet of their customers for reusing passwords, using weak passwords, and not turning on two-factor authentication. The truth is that Ring itself deserves the largest share of blame for every attack that their users have suffered.

An email sent to ring users notifying them of the breach.

An email sent to Ring users notifying them of the breach.


We don’t currently know how the Ring account data was acquired but for the moment let’s take Ring at their word that this was a credential stuffing attack. That implies that an attacker tried tens or even hundreds of thousands of username and password combinations on Ring’s website, and Ring didn’t even notice until they were alerted by security researchers.

Best practices in website security provide a few basic guidelines. First, numerous subsequent failed attempts on an account should result in extra scrutiny for logging in to that account. This may include limiting the number of attempts or locking the account until the owner can be contacted. Second, when a password is chosen for an account, this should go through some form of scrutiny: checking whether it is in a list of known compromised passwords and ensuring that it is sufficiently complex. Third, account holders should be able to see (and audit) the list of devices that have logged in to their account. And fourth, companies should encourage users to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in their account settings.

Ring cameras have extremely sensitive data—live footage adjacent to and often within the home—at their disposal.  This means that Ring should be extra careful with account information, not just employing basic account protections.  And although Ring has 2FA available for accounts, they rarely encourage its use to protect user accounts, with the exception of the email above.  Furthermore, they appear to have not even followed any of the other best practices listed above. And instead of giving users clear channels of remediation, they’re placing the blame for the data breach on their own users.

Ring has demonstrated a pattern of being negligent in enforcing even basic web application security controls. As late as February they sent video feeds to their cloud providers completely unencrypted. Ring has done too little to prevent account breaches, instead opting to blame their customers for any security breaches. Ring claims its primary business is the security of their customers. Yet they’ve failed to follow even basic data security best practices, opting instead to put the burden on their customers.
