Security company ADT disclosed in an SEC filing that hackers obtained “some limited customer information, including email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses.” TechCrunch reports that ADT’s disclosure follows a seller on a cybercrime forum claiming last week that they had obtained more than 30,000 stolen ADT customer records.
Fun fact: I'm an electronic security tech. A widely known joke in the industry is that ADT stands for "Another Dumb Technician". They like their lick-and-stick wireless sensor bullshit and can't wire up and program a real panel.
"We're sorry (we got caught). Here's a free identity production scam to make you feel safe again.
I begin to wonder if identity theft protection was the next big thing to get into after self storage. A bit of investment and then there's very little upkeep, and the companies keep that demand rolling in.
What security are these clowns even providing?
Remember this when you cancel your useless ADT services
I'm so glad I don't fuck around with ADT
