Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera. Its Data Shows How the System Really Works

Hackers from the stegan0gram group took down a Flock Safety road camera, copied its storage, and extracted the encryption key, gaining access to video of thousands of vehicle recognitions. Analysis showed the camera software detects not only cars and license plates but also people, bicycles, and even stickers.

• The camera generated about 1.6 million images over 21 days of logs
• On a typical day, about 3,300 cars were recorded, with a maximum of 4,454
• One passing car produced an average of 28 images, sometimes over 100
• Alpharetta camera recordings were accessible to over 2,000 agencies
