Privacy showdown: $10K bounty to sever Ring cameras from Amazon data
The Fulu Foundation is offering a bounty—starting at $10,000 and potentially higher with donations and matched up to $10,000—to hack Ring doorbell cameras so they stop sending data to Amazon without disabling core hardware features. The goal is to empower users to reclaim data control after Ring's controversial "Search Party" campaign; modifications must preserve local operation and on-device capabilities (motion detection, color night vision) and be feasible with inexpensive tools in under an hour. Winners may choose whether to publish their method due to DMCA considerations; the prize could grow as donors contribute.
