NEW YORK - A New York-based technology company sold Chinese-made surveillance equipment to the US government while falsely claiming the products were made in the United States -- a scheme that directly undermined national security, federal prosecutors have alleged. Aventura Technologies, based in the Long Island town of Commack, for years sold surveillance cameras and other equipment used on US military installations, prosecutors alleged in a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday in federal court. "Had we known that this was Chinese software, we may have been able to take steps to patch it and address that risk but because this was masked and we did not know this was Chinese software, in many instances those steps were not taken," he added. He said there "are no allegations in the complaint about the Chinese government itself and we're not making any today." Aventura describes itself on its website as an "innovative designer, developer and manufacturer of security hardware, software and peripheral products for government, military and enterprise since 1999."
