In stationary retail, information on IT security for routers & co. is hardly available, according to an analysis for the BSI. The situation is hardly any better in e-commerce. Manufacturers and sellers of networked devices do not adequately inform customers about IT security aspects, even though these play an important role for such products and the relevant information is sometimes required by law. Information on IT security is therefore “consistently incomplete”, researchers criticize. The least information can be found in brick-and-mortar stores and on product packaging, while slightly more can be found in online stores and on manufacturers’ websites.
