A wave of concern has spread across social media after Ring users began noticing unfamiliar login activity on their accounts, prompting fears of potential hacking.

The confusion began when users reported seeing unknown devices listed in their Ring security settings—some dated back to May 28 with vague identifiers like “Device name not found.” Many believed their home security systems may have been compromised.

League City Resident Tiffany Michelle told KGTX 7 that she discovered unknown devices connected to hers.

“I had two devices on mine, an iPhone 12 and some iOS device.” said Michelle. “One of them was literally from the date on the post too, May 28th.” she added.

I personally checked mine and unfortunately found an unknown iPad device connected on May 28th. Of course, I removed it immediately.

As speculation grew, Ring issued a public statement addressing the situation. According to the company, the issue wasn’t the result of unauthorized access but rather a technical bug introduced during a recent backend update.

“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,’” Ring stated in a July 18 post. “This was not caused by unauthorized access to customer accounts.”

The glitch caused all previously used devices—ranging from old phones to tablets and laptops—to reappear as new logins, according to a report by ZDNet. While no breaches have been confirmed, the incident has rattled some users who rely on Ring for home security and peace of mind.

As of late Friday morning, Ring said its engineering teams were still working on a fix.

Until the issue is resolved, users are encouraged to double-check their device lists, update passwords, and enable two-factor authentication for added security.
