Hackers reveal how Flock cameras really track cars and people

Hackers tore down a Flock Safety camera, dumped its storage, recovered an encryption key, and revealed its software detects people as well as vehicles.

Hackers from a collective calling itself stegan0gram removed a Flock Safety camera from service, made a near-complete copy of its storage, and recovered an encryption key stored on the device that unlocked thousands of vehicle-detection videos, sharing the files with 404 Media, WIRED, and Distributed Denial of Secrets. Analysis of about 21 days of logs shows more than a million images, roughly 28 photos per passing vehicle, and Flock-built apps that detect people, bicycles, and even bumper stickers, while plate inference happens on Flock's servers. Flock had previously downplayed early-2025 root-access research by Jon Gaines, and records from Alpharetta, Georgia were searchable by over 2,000 agencies via Flock's national network.

Spain reports first alleged AI-powered data theft attack

Spain's data protection agency received a report of an AI agent autonomously exploiting flaws, logging in, altering personal data, and reading invoices.

The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) was notified of an incident in which an AI agent powered by a known LLM reportedly searched for vulnerabilities, gained access to systems, modified personal data, and accessed financial documents. AEPD has not yet investigated or verified the report but says it shows AI-related data breaches are no longer theoretical. The agency urged defenders to revise incident-response procedures, strengthen credential and identity security, and explicitly account for machine-speed AI-assisted attacks.

AI Agent Carries Out Multi-Stage Data Theft Attack

Spain's data protection agency reports the country's first agentic AI-powered breach: an AI agent logged in, found vulnerabilities, and modified personal data.

Spain's Agencia Espanola de Proteccion de Datos (AEPD) disclosed on September 14 what it calls the country's first agentic AI-powered personal data breach. An agent using a known language model scanned generic files to log in, then autonomously searched for application vulnerabilities, modified personal data, and accessed invoices. AEPD said the agent was used as an instrument to chain attack phases, implying deliberate use by a threat actor rather than a rogue model. CybaVerse CTO Simon Phillips suggested the actor likely jailbreaked or bypassed the model's guardrails.

First Agentic AI Data Breach Reported to Spanish Regulator

Spain's AEPD reported the first data breach executed by an AI agent, which autonomously chained login, vulnerability discovery, and personal data modification.

Spain's Data Protection Agency (AEPD) published details of the first breach notification in which an AI agent executed the attack, achieving a successful login, searching for vulnerabilities, and modifying personal data and accessing invoices. The agency called the agent's autonomous chaining of attack phases a qualitative change and urged updated risk analysis, faster incident response, and stronger credential protection. Investigation is ongoing; commentators cite possible causes including a guardrail jailbreak, an escaped test model, or an unauthorized LLM-based penetration test.
