Penalty Amount
$450,000
New York Attorney General Letitia James secured a $450,000 settlement from three companies distributing eufy-branded home security cameras for failing to implement adequate data security measures. The companies’ cameras had unencrypted video streams accessible without authentication, exposing private consumer footage. The settlement requires the companies to implement stronger security protocols, including encryption, vulnerability testing, and a comprehensive information security program.
The companies must pay $450,000 in penalties and costs. They are required to implement and maintain a comprehensive information security program protecting consumer data, use secure software development processes with third-party vulnerability testing tools, maintain a vulnerability management program including regular penetration and vulnerability testing, and implement appropriate encryption for video in storage and transit. The companies must also regularly substantiate to the NY AG that the eufy product developer meets these security requirements.
In-house legal teams should review vendor agreements with IoT device manufacturers, smart home product distributors, and security camera providers to ensure robust data security requirements are included. Clauses related to encryption (both in transit and at rest), authentication protocols for user data access, vulnerability testing and penetration testing obligations, and requirements for comprehensive information security programs should be added or updated. Teams should also include provisions requiring vendors to promptly disclose security vulnerabilities, maintain audit trails of security testing, and provide regular compliance certifications to the company. Additionally, contracts should specify liability for data security failures that expose consumer private data, particularly video or other sensitive personal information.

$824K
New York Attorney General Letitia James secured a settlement with 425 Marcy, LLC and its principal Ezra Unger over the unlawful pre-sale of condominium units at 427 Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg before the required Martin Act offering plan was accepted for filing, and the misuse of $6.715 million in buyer down payments that were never placed in escrow. Unger agreed to repay residential buyers their down payments with interest or provide purchase credits, pay up to $824,000 in penalties, and is barred from selling securities in New York for six years. Note: this is a real estate offering-plan/escrow enforcement action rather than a data privacy matter; 'notice_failure' is the closest available taxonomy mapping (selling without the required offering plan disclosures).

The alert describes common scam tactics — upfront fees, false guarantees of loan forgiveness, manufactured urgency, demands for powers of attorney, and requests for federal student aid (FSA) credentials — and urges consumers to report scams to the OAG. No company was named, no violation was alleged against a specific entity, and no penalty was imposed.
