#Flock cameras are tracking people as well as cars. A group of #hackers reportedly removed a Flock camera from a roadway, copied its storage, and recovered an #encryption key stored on the device. That allowed them to unlock videos of thousands of vehicle detections despite Flock’s claim that its devices are protected by on-device encryption. #privacy #CyberSecurity https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/privacy/2026/09/flock-cameras-are-tracking-people-as-well-as-cars

Hackers reveal how Flock cameras really track cars and people https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/09/hackers-reveal-how-flock-cameras-really-track-cars-and-people/ Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and WIRED, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety’s cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people. The hackers say they are also publishing details on how they managed to obtain the software, in the hopes that other people may copy them.
