Customers were lied to for over a decade, prosecutors claim, leading to the use of surveillance equipment by the military with &#8220;known cyber vulnerabilities&#8221; originating from China &#8212; while the firm continued to pretend everything was made on Long Island. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aventura and seven current and former employees are being charged by the DoJ. Prosecutors named Frances Cabasso, Aventura&#8217;s &#8220;de facto&#8221; owner, wife of Jack Cabasso and CEO, executives Jonathan Lasker, Christine Lavonne Lazarus and Eduard Matulik, current employee Wayne Marino, and Alan Schwartz, a retired member of staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In order to investigate the alleged wrongdoing, law enforcement intercepted and marked shipments making their way from China to Aventura&#8217;s headquarters. One such product, a $13,500 laser-enhanced night vision camera ordered by the Navy, was traced from China to a shipping facility in Jamaica and then to Aventura, before being delivered to the Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, weeks later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/lasers-can-seemingly-hack-alexa-google-home-and-siri\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Lasers can seemingly hack Alexa, Google Home and Siri<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To hide the shipping operation, the defendants allegedly took steps including removing Chinese markers from circuit boards, eradicating the original manufacturer&#8217;s name from server communications, and used imagery to conjure up the vision of assembly lines in the US when in fact they originated from Hangzhou, China.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Frances Cabasso was allegedly portrayed as the owner and operator of Aventura in order to obtain a contract from the US government reserved for women-owned businesses, but it was the husband that actually controlled the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say that Aventura has made more than $88 million over the past decade, and at least $20 million was generated through federal government contracts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aventura not only defrauded its customers, but also exposed them to serious, known cybersecurity risks, and created a channel by which hostile foreign governments could have accessed some of the government&#8217;s most sensitive facilities,&#8221; the DoJ says.<\/p>\n<p>Six of the accused were arrested on Thursday morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TechRepublic:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/how-to-control-location-tracking-on-your-iphone-in-ios-13\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">How to control location tracking on your iPhone in iOS 13<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Cabassos are being charged with money laundering and assets have been seized, including a 70-foot luxury yacht and $3 million deposited in 12 bank accounts.
