Hackers obtained encryption keys from a compromised Flock camera and extracted over 27,000 video clips and 1.6 million images within 21 days. Flock had denied such vulnerabilities existed.
Hackers obtained encryption keys from a compromised Flock camera and extracted over 27,000 video clips and 1.6 million images within 21 days. Flock had previously denied such vulnerabilities existed. The actual breach proved the company's denial was wrong.
Flock cameras are police surveillance tools deployed across cities. If encryption can be broken and video extracted, then the cameras aren't as secure as departments believed. That 21-day window matters—it means attackers had weeks to extract data before discovery. This raises a question about what other compromises might be happening undetected. If a company denied a vulnerability and then it turned out to exist, what else are they denying?
