On top of the privacy spill, Peloton is also recalling all treadmills after the equipment was linked to 70 injuries and the death of one child.
Peloton has hit a pothole. Its API was leaking riders’ private data, it ignored a vulnerability disclosure from a penetration testing company, and it partially fixed the hole but didn’t get around to telling the researcher until he reached out to a cybersecurity journalist for some help.
This is bad news for Peloton, coming just before other, far more horrific news hit the headlines: Namely, on Wednesday, the company recalled all of its treadmills, which have been linked to 70 injuries and the death of one child. It also admitted that it had been wrong to refuse the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s request that it pull the equipment: In April, the CPSC warned consumers to stay off the Peloton Tread+, which “poses serious risks to children for abrasions, fractures, and death.”

The Cybersecurity 202: Investigations into Russian, North Korean hackers are shaping Biden s foreign policy Tonya Riley
with Aaron Schaffer
The Biden administration is plunging ahead in a pair of high-profile cybersecurity investigations into North Korean and Russian hackers, shedding light on how it plans to crack down on foreign hackers after the Trump administration downplayed the issue in the 2016 election and its aftermath. The Biden administration yesterday elaborated on its ongoing investigation into a massive Russian hack of at least nine government agencies and about 100 companies tied to the SolarWinds breach. The White House is focused on “working to expel the adversary, we are working to build those networks and improve the cybersecurity of federal networks, and we re also carefully thinking through how we respond,” Anne Neuberger, national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology, told reporters in her first White House briefing.
