Nov 21, 2024 10:33 AM

WASHINGTON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The Federal

Communications Commission on Thursday proposed to fine

Chinese-based video doorbell manufacturer Eken nearly $735,000

for providing false information and after security concerns were

raised.

FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel cited news reports alleging

that Eken's video doorbells exposed users' home IP addresses and

WiFi network names and allowed access to photos and videos from

household cameras by outside parties.

The FCC said the company's U.S. agent's address was false.

She said the doorbells were sold by online retailers including

Amazon.com ( AMZN ) and Walmart ( WMT ).
