Sold to Taiwan Skywatch ($72M, Nov 24, 2022 — one day before FCC Secure Equipment Act order revoked Dahua's new US authorizations). Despite ownership change, Dahua still supplies critical components and firmware (CECC, IPVM, TechCrunch confirmed). 2025 REGULATORY SURGE: (1) Florida AG subpoena (Aug 2025); (2) Nebraska AG consumer protection lawsuit under Nebraska CPA/UDTPA alleging false 'private by design' marketing (Sept 2025); (3) Texas AG lawsuit on baby monitor 'hidden CCP ties' (Nov 2025).
