Hackers reveal how Flock cameras really track cars and people

The report shows that Flock’s camera ecosystem collects and processes far more sensitive data than many organizations may realize, including detailed vehicle imagery and computer-vision detection of people, bicycles, and other identifiers, even when the vendor positions the system as protected by encryption. For CIOs and technology leaders, this underscores the strategic risk of deploying always-on edge surveillance and AI systems: physical device compromise, opaque vendor architectures, and broad data-sharing networks can create significant privacy, compliance, reputational, and cybersecurity exposure that IT must govern as rigorously as any core enterprise system.
