taggit Summary
Telesforo Aviles, a 35-year-old former employee for the security company ADT, admitted he secretly accessed the customers' accounts more than 9,600 times over more than four years, according to a guilty plea submitted in court. While working for ADT, a home security company that provides security alarms, cameras, and locks, Avilas took note of customer homes where attractive women lived, prosecutors said, then repeatedly gained access to their video feeds for sexual gratification. The technician violated the company's policies by surreptitiously adding his personal email address to accounts on ADT Pulse, an app that allows customers to check remotely on their homes' security cameras. According to the lawsuits, ADT began to notify customers about the breach back in April 2020, telling them that one of their employees had accessed customer accounts for about 4 1/2 years.
