There’s some big news on the tech front that might make you think twice about the security cameras you have in your home, especially if you have a Lorex camera. Nebraska’s Attorney General, Mike Hilgers, is suing home security camera maker Lorex, alleging that the company misled consumers about the privacy and safety of its devices and works with China.
The lawsuit, which spans 39 pages, was filed in a Nebraska state court. According to Fox, it claims that Lorex has been marketing its cameras as “private by design” and safe for use in highly personal spaces, like children’s bedrooms. The complaint states that the company allegedly hid the fact that its devices rely on a sanctioned Chinese firm, Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., which has been flagged for national security and human rights violations.
