FTC Fines Security Camera Company $3 Million

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has fined security camera company Verkada $2.9 million after the FTC found the company failed to protect customer data or implement proper security measures. Verkada was the target of at least two security breaches between 2020 and 2022, allowing threat actors to gain access to sensitive data.

The company claimed it used “best-in-class data security tools” and practices to protect customer data from unauthorized access. However, customers were left vulnerable after hackers gained access to 150,000 live feeds from internet-connected cameras, including in schools, prisons and psychiatric hospitals.
