Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves

SMRTR summary

Flock Security left at least 60 of its AI-powered Condor surveillance cameras exposed to the internet without password protection, allowing anyone to watch livestreams, download 30 days of video archives, and control camera settings. These cameras automatically track and zoom in on people's faces in public spaces, with researchers observing footage of children on playgrounds, shoppers in parking lots, and pedestrians on bike paths with such high resolution that phone screens were visible.
