Hackers steal Flock camera software
The gist
Hackers removed a Flock camera and copied nearly all data inside it.
The recovered files show the software logs people, not just plates.
How it unfolded
- Sep 14, 2026A Flock camera is shown mounted on a pole in Glendale, California, and an aerial view shows one in Burbank, California; President Donald Trump expressed support for Flock cameras, citing their use by law enforcement despite privacy concerns.
- Sep 16, 2026Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and WIRED, saying they are also publishing details of how they obtained the software so others can copy them.
- Sep 16, 2026The collective stegan0gram provided a copy of the data to 404 Media, WIRED and the nonprofit leak archiver Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), which made the data public on Wednesday.
