Hackers Pulled Apart a Flock Camera 

Pentagon System Updates

A new investigation by WIRED examines whether Flock Safety, the company behind one of America's fastest-growing networks of automated license-plate-reader cameras, still manufactures its hardware in the United States as prominently as it once claimed. The article concludes that the answer is increasingly unclear because the company now provides much less information about where its cameras are assembled.  

A hacker collective called stegan0gram physically removed a Flock Safety license-plate-reader camera, copied its internal storage, and discovered an encryption key stored on the device itself. Using that key, they accessed thousands of videos and images that the company had previously suggested would be inaccessible even if someone obtained the hardware.  

The Washington Post reports that artificial intelligence is dramatically increasing the danger posed by the Pentagon's aging computer systems. Senior military cyber leaders say vulnerabilities have increased tenfold as AI enables attackers to find and exploit weaknesses more efficiently, creating growing concern that decades of deferred IT modernization could leave critical U.S. defense networks exposed to future cyberattacks.
