Cars rented by Norwegian military secretly recorded soldiers on dashcams

Vehicles rented by the Norwegian army for an exercise in Oslo had dashcams left running that recorded soldiers, their movements and gate codes they typed. Troops found and deleted the footage but kept using the cars due to a shortage of alternatives. The rental operator First Rent A Car Norway is part of Volvo Cars, about 79% of which is controlled by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.

• Dashcams captured soldiers entering and exiting, their movements and gate codes
• Troops found the clips by chance in the vehicle menus and erased them
• The military kept the cars in use because few alternatives were available
• The rental operator is linked to Volvo Cars, ~79% controlled by Geely
