Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera. Its Data Shows How the System Really Works

A hacker collective obtained data from a Flock camera device, releasing thousands of videos and logs that revealed the system captured 1.6 million images of 50,000 vehicles over 21 days. The breach exposed the scope and operational mechanics of Flock's automated license plate recognition infrastructure.

Why it matters: Law enforcement agencies and municipalities using Flock systems should assess whether their devices and data were compromised, and security teams managing camera networks need to evaluate endpoint hardening and access controls on physical surveillance infrastructure.
