CEO faces backlash after reporting backpack linked to UnitedHealthcare shooting suspect

Peter Dering, CEO of Peak Design, has faced backlash after reporting a backpack linked to the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare boss shooting. He identified his product in CCTV footage and contacted police, leading to online harassment from supporters of the alleged shooter. Dering stated that he and his employees have received threats and abusive comments since the tip-off. He emphasized the importance of customer privacy and clarified that personal information would only be shared under legal requirements. Concerns have arisen about the potential tracking of serial numbers on products, with some users suggesting removing tags to avoid police scrutiny. Dering reassured customers that their information is not linked to purchases unless voluntarily registered.
