    “The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposes a $2.95 million penalty on security camera vendor Verkada for multiple security failures that enabled hackers to access live video feeds from 150,000 internet-connected cameras.

    “Many of the cameras were located in sensitive environments, such as women’s health clinics, psychiatric hospitals, prisons, and schools.

    “FTC alleges that Verkada not only failed to implement basic security measures to protect the cameras from unauthorized access but also misrepresented the products’ security to customers with unbased promises and reviews submitted by investors.

    “Moreover, Verkada was found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act by bombarding aspiring customers with promotional emails without giving them opt-out choices.”
