For Release: 09/04/2013
A company that markets video cameras designed to allow consumers to monitor their homes remotely has settled Federal Trade Commission charges that its lax security practices exposed the private lives of hundreds of consumers to public viewing on the Internet. This is the agencys first action against a marketer of an everyday product with interconnectivity to the Internet and other mobile devices commonly referred to as the Internet of Things.
The FTCs complaint alleges that TRENDnet marketed its SecurView cameras for purposes ranging from home security to baby monitoring, and claimed in numerous product descriptions that they were secure. In fact, the cameras had faulty software that left them open to online viewing, and in some instances listening, by anyone with the cameras Internet address.
The Internet of Things holds great promise for innovative consumer products and services. But consumer privacy and security must remain a priority as companies develop more devices that connect to the Internet, said FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez.
In its complaint, the FTC alleges that, from at least April 2010, TRENDnet failed to use reasonable security to design and test its software, including a setting for the cameras password requirement. As a result of this failure, hundreds of consumers private camera feeds were made public on the Internet.
According to the complaint, in January 2012, a hacker exploited this flaw and made it public, and, eventually, hackers posted links to the live feeds of nearly 700 of the cameras. The feeds displayed babies asleep in their cribs, young children playing, and adults going about their daily lives. Once TRENDnet learned of this flaw, it uploaded a software patch to its website and sought to alert its customers of the need to visit the website to update their cameras.
The FTC also alleged that, from at least April 2010, TRENDnet transmitted user login credentials in clear, readable text over the Internet, even though free software was available to secure such transmissions. In addition, the FTC alleged that TRENDnets mobile applications for the cameras stored consumers login information in clear, readable text on their mobile devices.
Under the terms of its settlement with the Commission, TRENDnet is prohibited from misrepresenting the security of its cameras or the security, privacy, confidentiality, or integrity of the information that its cameras or other devices transmit. In addition, the company is barred from misrepresenting the extent to which a consumer can control the security of information the cameras or other devices store, capture, access, or transmit.
In addition, TRENDnet is required to establish a comprehensive information security program designed to address security risks that could result in unauthorized access to or use of the companys devices, and to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of information that is stored, captured, accessed, or transmitted by its devices. The company also is required to obtain third-party assessments of its security programs every two years for the next 20 years.
The settlement also requires TRENDnet to notify customers about the security issues with the cameras and the availability of the software update to correct them, and to provide customers with free technical support for the next two years to assist them in updating or uninstalling their cameras.

Home Security | Comments Off on Marketer of Internet-Connected Home Security Video Cameras Settles FTC Charges It Failed to Protect Consumers' Privacy
By Jennifer C. Kerr, The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The government is requiring the marketer of Internet-connected home monitoring cameras to come up with a better security design after feeds from people's homes video from baby monitors and home security systems were posted online for public view.
In a settlement announced Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission said lax security practices led to the breach by California-based TRENDnet.
The commission says the private lives of hundreds of consumers video of babies sleeping in cribs, young children playing, and adults going about their daily routines went public in January 2012 after a hacker exploited a security flaw in the company's software and posted links of video feeds to nearly 700 cameras.
In addition to addressing software security risks, the settlement also prohibits TRENDnet from misrepresenting the security of its cameras as well as requiring the company to design a better security program.
According to the commission, the cameras had faulty software that left them open to online viewing, and in some cases listening, by anyone with the Internet address of the cameras. The complaint says the company didn't use reasonable security to design and test its software.
TRENDnet sent user login credentials in clear, readable text over the Internet, the commission said, even though free software was available to secure those transmissions.
A request to TRENDnet for comment was not immediately answered.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Police said home surveillance video that went viral on the Internet shows a 23-year-old man stealing from a stranger's home.
That burglary suspect, Austin Jones, is set to face a judge on Thursday. But as he sits behind bars, the video that thousands have viewed online has prompted many people in Las Vegas to consider getting a home security system.
Several security companies in Las Vegas reported seeing a surge in inquiries from homeowners after the story of the suspect's arrest made news over the weekend. That includes American Video and Security, Ltd., where the general manager saw the video.
"It was painful," said Nicola Oakie of what it was like watching the video.
She said she wished the homeowner, Ed Vidal, had more than just a video camera in his home to catch the suspected burglar. She said if he had an alarm system that notified authorities during the burglary, law enforcement could have responded quicker.
Still, she understands that not everyone can afford the most extensive home surveillance system. She points out that having something like a video camera is better than nothing.
She and other security companies said whenever a story like this makes news, they see an uptick in business. They weren't surprised by the public's response.
As of Tuesday, more than 30,000 people had viewed the video Vidal had posted of the crime on his Facebook page. Metro said people who saw the video called police and they were able to contact Jones over the weekend and he turned himself in.
This crime that was caught on video may be more than just a lesson for homeowners. Would-be criminals might have second thoughts now that more people want to secure their homes.
Security experts point out, families don't have to spend a whole lot to outfit their homes.

Orem, Utah (PRWEB) September 04, 2013
Last week, NorthStar Alarm presented the Pittmans, the family of 2-year old Ryker Pittman who receives therapy through the Kids on the Move organization, with a home security system and monitoring package at no cost. The family was selected to receive the package after entering an essay contest that NorthStar Alarm and Kids on the Move held for over families involved in the Kids on the Move organization.
"We have thought about getting an alarm system or quite some time now and are grateful that NorthStar made it possible for us," said Stacie Pittman, mother of Ryker Pittman. "We feel much safer about being in our home already.
The Pittman family is receiving a wireless home security system with an easy-to-use touch screen panel and mobile control allows the family to arm the system and receive text messages each time a door or window in the home is opened. NorthStar is also covering the monitoring of the system for two years, after that the equipment will still be able to be armed and disarmed. The system and monitoring together is valued at $2,500.
"We really appreciate this generous donation and the support that NorthStar has provided for our organization and community," said Holly Bushnell, PR manager of the Kids on the Move organization.
NorthStar, a company founded on the core value of service, is always looking for ways to give back to the community. Getting involved with Kids on the Move and providing the Pittman family with a home security system was a special opportunity for the company.
In addition to the traditional home security benefits, the new technology in our systems is incredibly beneficial for parents like the Pittmans that are simply trying to stay connected with their home and family, said NorthStar Alarm CEO Jason Christensen. Its exciting for us to see this new technology benefit families that are admirably dealing with unique challenges.
The system install will be done by Ryan Forbes, NorthStar Alarm install technician manager.
