Per Verkada's website all of its cameras include facial recognition tools. The cameras can detect “meaningful events" and “unusual motion." After detecting faces, "a...web app allows the camera’s admin to search over time for footage that includes that specific person." https://t.co/vjtebbfNmh

??? “the group managed to gain Super Admin-level access to Verkada’s system using a username and password they found publicly on the internet. From there, they were able to access the entire company’s network, including root access to the cameras” https://t.co/RaWDvl2LUT

I know it's unfashionable to be surprised by bad things, but I'm genuinely surprised so many companies would install security cameras inside their facilities that can be remotely logged into by staff at the company that makes the cameras https://t.co/sxVuR9RH5t

New: obtained the list of customers of facial recognition company Verkada from the hackers. Filtering provides over 24,000 unique entities. The spread of these cameras that come preloaded with facial recognition is truly staggering when laid out like this https://t.co/YJg3hQL1sr pic.twitter.com/lOWS42Qs1M

Unclear whether every one of these 24,000 entities are actively using the facial recognition features of Verkada's cameras. But they come prebaked with that capability. https://t.co/YJg3hQL1sr pic.twitter.com/DopJ0M5lEk

“hackers’ methods were unsophisticated: they gained access to Verkada through a “Super Admin” account, allowing them to peer into the cameras of all of its customers. Kottmann says they found a user name and password for an administrator account publicly exposed on the internet.” https://t.co/4fMV4gZXeX

Every startup's nightmare. Nothing is 100% secure, but this is bad. I don't know how you recover from publicly visible breaches with that many high profile clients early on when you're trying to gain traction. https://t.co/Ep5oYPtV7g
