We had a request today:
"Do you have a kind of policy that if we buy 100% permission from IPVM to use your Article? We are highly interested in The Hikvision Hacking Scandal article and want to spread it out to all our ... customer."
IPVM never sells reprints nor provides manufacturers permission to use our material in any promotion.
For old world media, this is actually fairly common, so I am not surprised that the question is asked. I am also not upset with the manufacturer who did ask because he asked first and allowed us to make it clear that we would never do this.
That said, it is worth reminding every one of our policy here.
Related, if you see any manufacturer ever using IPVM material in promotions, emails, marketing, presentations, etc., know that it is unauthorized. Please let me know - john@ipvm.com
