Hikvision, HWG Deceive FCC About New Critical Vulnerability [Update: Hikvision Issues Correction]
Hikvision and its law firm, HWG, deceived the FCC in a lengthy submission filed on September 20th about Hikvision's critical new vulnerability impacting 100+ million devices.
Despite days earlier admitting this critical vulnerability, Hikvision asserted to the FCC that "no vulnerability in Hikvision video surveillance equipment to date in 2021" by citing the Common Vulnerabilities List (CVE).
