Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers discusses his lawsuit against Lorex, a Chinese-linked surveillance camera manufacturer, for deceptive trade practices with John Solomon on this podcast episode. Lorex's backend infrastructure, linked to the Chinese military-related company Dahua, poses significant security risks, potentially allowing the Chinese Communist Party access to sensitive audio and video data. The lawsuit, under Nebraska's Consumer Protection Act, aims to force Lorex to disclose these security issues. Additionally, the Attorney General is working with retailers like Costco to ensure transparency. The discussion also touches on a separate lawsuit against Ticketmaster for deceptive practices, highlighting the role of state attorneys general in consumer protection and national security.
