I would probably just replace the firmware altogether, but as stated in the article, most people don't even know what firmware is. The worst part is that they can just do this. Sometimes I get the feeling that technology companies prey on those who are less tech savvy...

That is sick. Especially considering the fact that facial recognition is getting so good. Also, the person on the security tape doesn't know that they are being sold. That should be illegal. Why not just walk around the city with a video camera, and sell the people on the street?: "Hey look, Tom Smith, who lives at 555 Second St., and makes $95k is on East 39 street every afternoon."
Isn't that what the paparazzi are doing? Granted, with already famous people, but still. I dread the moment that someone would somehow get acces to CCTV systems. That would be the end of real life privacy in for example London.Why not just walk around the city with a video camera, and sell the people on the street?: "Hey look, Tom Smith, who lives at 555 Second St., and makes $95k is on East 39 street every afternoon."
