⚡️‼️ NEW - Hackers tore down a Flock license plate camera, copied its storage and found an encryption key on the device that unlocked footage of thousands of passing vehicles.

The recovered data covered about 21 days of activity. In that time, the camera photographed roughly 50,000 vehicles and took about 1.6 million images.

Flock had previously told a security researcher that even someone who got into one of its cameras couldn't reach footage, because images stayed on the device only briefly.

Flock calls the removal illegal and said it didn't have enough detail to assess the claims.

Its software also detects people. When researchers ran the camera's own models over 27,321 clips stored on it, they flagged people in 11.
