Allowed access to 150k cameras, some in sensitive spots, but has been done for spamming
Physical security biz Verkada has agreed to cough up $2.95 million following an investigation by the US Federal Trade Commission – but the payment won’t make good its past security failings, including a blunder that led to CCTV footage of Tesla, Cloudflare, and others being snooped on. Instead, the fine is about spam.that flowed from an admin-level username and password combo for its systems being left online.
That said, the biz will have to step up its security practices – including implementing a proper infosec program for the next 20 years, training staff in best practices at least once a year, implementing multi-factor authentication, and engaging a third party to check its systems.
