Verkada to pay $2.95M for security failures leading to breaches

The FTC settled with security camera vendor Verkada after multiple security lapses allowed attackers to exploit a customer support server and a legacy firmware build server—enabling admin-level access, Mirai installation, and the extraction or viewing of video footage from cameras in sensitive locations; Verkada agreed to pay $2.95M, implement a comprehensive security program, and accept long-term reporting and marketing restrictions.
