Google totally dropped the ball on this one.  They knew they had a data breach, but kept quiet and hoped it would just fade away.  My neighbor is using Nest, has a doorbell camera that pumps to his cell phone.  It is slightly unsettling to know that my kids are being recorded when they go over to give Holiday cookies.
