Hackers removed a Flock camera, copied its stored data, and recovered an encryption key that unlocked videos of thousands of vehicle detections. The recovered logs showed about 1.6 million images across roughly 21 days of activity from the camera. The findings expand scrutiny of Flock’s on-device software by showing it explicitly detects people and that local records were part of a searchable national network, prompting some towns to stop using the cameras.
