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 ).
