The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is mandating Verkada to implement a comprehensive information security program and pay a $2.95 million penalty for improper security practices.
A hacker accessed Verkada's security cameras, including monitoring patients in sensitive environments, highlighting serious deficiencies in the company's information security practices.
Verkada was also accused of violating the CAN-SPAM Act by inundating potential customers with emails, failing to respect opt-out requests, and not providing necessary unsubscribe options.
Samuel Levine from the FTC emphasized the expectation for companies to maintain basic security standards when consumers trust them with private space monitoring.
