I’m disappointed that U.S. police departments would use such low a quality service with no focus on security. Looking at Netsential’s website, their services look very basic and inexpensive. There’s not even a mention of security on its site. It was only a matter of time before they were hacked.

Looking at that website, there is a close to zero chance that the owner is not a family member / friend of someone with a ton of influence. No other way they landed this contract.

My thoughts exactly! And apparently they won many contracts over several years. From the article:
