Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬This Company Turns #Dashcams into ‘Virtual #CCTV #Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In
A hacker has compromised #Nexar, which turns peoples' cars into "virtual CCTV cameras" that organizations can then buy images from. Images include sensitive #US military and intelligence facilities.
Last week 404 Media reported that #surveillance company Flock, which has directly and indirectly provided data to #CBP and #ICE, is looking to integrate with Nexar.

This Company Turns #Dashcams into ‘Virtual #CCTV #Cameras.’ Then #Hackers Got In
A #hacker has broken into #Nexar, a popular #dashcam company that pitches its users’ dashcams as “virtual CCTV cameras” around the world that other people can buy images from, & accessed a database of terabytes of video recordings taken from cameras in drivers’ cars. The videos obtained by the hacker & shared, capture people clearly unaware that a third party may be watching or listening in

TechNadu🚨 Hacker breach: Nexar dashcams leaked 130TB+ of private videos, some near CIA & military facilities.
Dashcams marketed as “virtual CCTV” became surveillance risks, sold to tech firms, cities & more.
👀 What’s worse:
1️⃣ The hack itself
2️⃣ Or companies monetizing user video/data?

#Nexar, the dashcam company, already publicly publishes a live interactive map of photos taken from its dashcams around the #US, in what the company describes as “crowdsourced vision,” showing the company is willing to leverage data beyond individual customers using the cameras to protect themselves in the event of an accident.
