  • Is it the additional data you give them to enter the giveaway?

    Basically. You’re telling TP-Link that you’re a business that’s interested in selling their products. In return, their Sales team now has your information and can pester you tell you all about the latest TP-Link products.

    Additionally, they’re putting their products directly in the hands of customers who could become even bigger customers. If you, as a company, decide you like the product, then you’re probably going to buy more of said product.

    Finally, TP-Link is being selective about who gets the freebie—they’re not just handing them out willy-nilly. From the fine print:

    Offer valid only for SolutionX partners. One Insight S445 (2.8mm) camera per qualified SolutionX partner. Approval is required, and TP-Link reserves the right to verify applications

    So there’s probably some sort of “legitimacy threshold” you have to clear in order to get the goodies.

    Well shit, I just paid for a full year of Mozilla Monitor a couple weeks ago.

    Does anyone have recommendations for other info removal services?

    EDIT: If anyone else is a paid Mozilla Monitor customer, I encourage you to send Mozilla feedback about this partnership: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/mozilla-account/form

    EDIT 2: Mozilla’s response to my message: “We did assess OneRep’s data removal service to confirm it acts according to privacy principles that we advocate at Mozilla. We were aware of the past affiliations with the entities named in the article and were assured they had ended prior to our work together. We’re now looking into this further.”

    It seems like Mozilla should have had access to more information during their due diligence process than Krebs would have had as a third party. This is very concerning.
