What is the lawsuit against ADT refers to several lawsuits, but most notable recent ones involve deceptive sales practices and technician misconduct. In 2023, ADT settled for $3 million with US over allegations of deceptive sales and failure to disclose terms. The most high profile lawsuit was 2022 case where ADT technician Telvin Smith pleaded guilty to hacking customer cameras and spying on customers, particularly women, leading to civil lawsuits against ADT for failure to protect privacy and inadequate supervision, with customers suing ADT for invasion of privacy and negligence. Another major class action alleged ADT misled customers about contract terms, early termination fees, and free equipment that required long term contracts. There have also been lawsuits about false advertising regarding response times and security effectiveness, and patent infringement lawsuits with competitors like Vivint and Ring over smart home technology. In 2020, ADT sued Ring for patent infringement and Ring countersued. Consumers have filed suits alleging auto renewal without consent. So lawsuit against ADT can refer to multiple, but main concerns involve privacy breach by technicians accessing customer cameras and deceptive sales practices regarding contracts and fees.
