Hackers exposed live car camera feeds and driver info online
A report found that some camera systems used to track license plates and vehicle movements were exposing live video and vehicle details online without proper protection. This could allow unauthorized people to see where cars are in real time and review travel patterns tied to specific vehicles.
Who is at risk
Drivers, families, and anyone whose vehicle may be captured by roadside, parking lot, apartment, school, or business surveillance cameras are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for signs that your vehicle or daily movements may be unusually known by others, especially if you have concerns about stalking, harassment, or unwanted tracking.
What to do
If you think this could affect your safety, limit public sharing of your location and routines, review any vehicle-tracking or camera services connected to your property or workplace, and report privacy concerns to the organization operating the cameras.
