"UL Has Blood On Their Hands" Alleges The Interceptor / Keith Jentoft

Published Oct 14, 2019 11:29 AM

"UL has blood on their hands" alleges Keith Jentoft of "The Interceptor Project".

We examined The Interceptor in-depth last year, see: The Interceptor Aims To Fix Vulnerability In Millions of Alarm Systems.

Now, we examine Jentoft's allegation, The Interceptor's marketing campaign and the prudence of such allegations.

Update October 16, 2019: UL denies the allegation.
