iDenville@iDenvillestegan0gram is an activist hacker group that made headlines this month for dismantling a Flock Safety automated license plate reader camera and extracting its internal data. A joint investigation by @WIRED and @404mediaco analyzed the files, exposing exactly how the AI-powered tracking system works: - In just 21 days, a single camera captured 1.6 million images tracking over 50,000 unique vehicles. - While marketed heavily for license plates, the internal software explicitly logs and isolates images of people, bicycles, and bumper stickers. - On device encryption was bypassed because the system stored its encryption keys directly on the hardware, allowing hackers to unlock thousands of recorded videos. The group leaked the data to raise alarms over the rapid, unregulated growth of mass surveillance. Think these Flock camaras are just run by government? NO! Private groups and citizens run these cameras too. They lease out access to the data. ⬇️⬇️21d
