    A Politico story out today describes how Oura wearable rings are winning over Washington, but makes no real mention of their privacy or security risks.

    But... in my piece about Oura rings from last year, I explain how Oura puts user data at risk from goverment agencies (like ICE), and hackers.

    • Oura data isn't end-to-end encrypted
    • Sensitive health data can be accessed by Oura staff
    • Oura said it has received government demands for user data.

        One ring to bind them all, and through privacy leaks find them.
