Breach at Verkada

I know this is not Meraki, but wasn't Verkada created by some ex-Meraki engineers?  Hopefully Meraki have better security, or do now, having seen the below:

Verkada was definitely created by an ex-Meraki team! I hope the hackers don't know that 😅

The scary thing is they do access control as well.......

 

Its the same guy that released hack Intel data in 2020. Sounds like the guy really wants a holiday in a US federal prison.

I almost went with Verkada before we decided on Meraki. I also looked at Rhombus.

I have to admit I like the new features Verkada has released, but I'm glad we went with Meraki.
