D-Link Agrees to 10 Years of Security Audits to Settle FTC Charges

D-Link agrees to implement a “comprehensive software security program” in order to settle FTC lawsuit. FTC filed lawsuit against Taiwanese networking equipment manufacturer over poor security of its routers, IP cameras, and other Internet-connected devices. FTC settled similar charges with ASUS over the security of their routers in 2016, when the company agreed to undergo independent security audits every 2 years for the next 20 years from an assessor approved by the FTC. FTC: “Defendants did not take reasonable steps to secure their products from unauthorized access”
