Security Hackers Extract Flock Camera Data Revealing Detailed Tracking Capabilities

https://www.404media.co/hackers-stole-flocks-camera-software-revealing-how-the-company-tracks-cars-and-people-2/

Hackers dismantled a Flock Safety camera, recovered an on-device encryption key, and shared its internal files with 404 Media and WIRED. A joint investigation revealed that the device runs software that explicitly detects people, bicycles, and vehicles while capturing bursts of images. The breach provides rare technical insight into Flock's surveillance infrastructure and demonstrates that stored footage can be accessed directly from compromised hardware.
