Tapplock smart locks are internet-connected and use fingerprint biometrics for security. The company raised over $300,000 on Indiegogo in 2016, before it went into production and released the locks in March 2018. Shortly after, the issues were discovered, and the manufacturer released patches at the time. However, the FTC is now taking issue with the disconnect between the company s advertising claims regarding security and the reality of the situation. FTC alleges that there are reasonably foreseeable electronic security vulnerabilities that could have been avoided within the device and the app.
