Companies this inept really need to get fined.
Like how many layers of people had to have OKed having the same password for all of them? It’s incompetence on an impressive scale.
- wolrah 8mo agoAgreed, this sort of thing should at minimum be considered gross negligence at this point, but because regular consumers who buy these products rarely see and almost never understand these news articles it doesn't really impact sales so the company doesn't care. If this discovery was guaranteed to result in meaningful fines companies would get their act together pretty quickly. 7000 counts of negligent exposure of private data (camera/mic feeds) should in a just world be millions of dollars in fines at the least and arguably criminal charges for management.
- jonplackett 8mo agoExactly. If GDPR fines can be so high, then something like this that is pretty much intentionally leaking personal data should be in the same ballpark.
- hinkley 8mo agoJust one underpaid dude.
