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.

Non-Zero-Day VPN Flaw Left Japan ‘s Government Shared Network Platform Exposed: 246,000 Records at Risk

Japan's Digital Agency says attackers exploited a patchable VPN flaw to access a government shared platform, exposing records of ~246,000 employees across 23 ministries.

Japan's Digital Agency disclosed that attackers exploited a medium-severity, already-patchable vulnerability in a VPN device to access the Government Solution Service (GSS), potentially leaking personal data of roughly 246,000 government employees, officials, and contractors across 23 ministries. The intrusion was detected on June 25 and confirmed as VPN exploitation on July 9, with public disclosure 78 days after detection. Exposed data includes about 236,000 names, 231,000 email addresses, 94,000 phone numbers, and 1,000 physical addresses; no My Number, bank account, or pension numbers were included. The compromised maintenance staff account was suspended and the compromised hardware isolated, but the VPN product and flaw were not disclosed.

America's Driver's License Breach Is a National Security Disaster

Dark web service Nexus sells 153 million US/Canadian driver's licenses linked to a breach of identity verifier IDScan.

Krebs on Security revealed a dark web service, Nexus, selling access to 153 million driver's licenses and 3 million travel documents from US and Canadian citizens, roughly 63 percent of all US licenses. Circumstantial evidence links the data to identity verification firm IDScan, which confirmed it is investigating a breach, and the FBI is probing the incident. Licenses belonging to senior US officials, including Pete Hegseth, an FBI assistant director, and Krebs's own contacts were verified as genuine. The exfiltration appears ongoing, with the database growing by nearly 400,000 licenses in a single day, and the data carries significant national security value for foreign intelligence services.

Japan’s Digital Agency Breach Exposes 240,000+ Users’ Personal Records to Hackers

Attackers exploited a patched VPN appliance flaw to breach Japan's Digital Agency shared government platform, exposing about 246,000 personal records.

Japan's Digital Agency disclosed on September 11 that attackers exploited a VPN appliance vulnerability to access the Government Solution Service (GSS), a shared IT platform across ministries, exposing roughly 246,000 personal records. The attacker was active since late May using a maintenance staffer's credentials, with suspicious activity detected June 25 and containment on July 9. Exposed data covers about 189,000 employees/public officials and 57,000 contractors; no My Number, bank, or pension data was included. The VPN flaw was medium severity with a patch already available, and the 78-day detection-to-disclosure gap has drawn scrutiny.

Revolut Data Breach Via Fake Government Requests – What We Know So Far

Revolut confirmed attackers extracted customer KYC records by sending fraudulent data requests from a spoofed or compromised government agency email domain.

Revolut confirmed a data breach in which an unauthorized party obtained sensitive customer records by submitting fraudulent information requests from an email account on a legitimate government agency domain with valid SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication. Disclosed data could include full names, dates of birth, passport or driving-license copies, onboarding facial images, IBANs, account statements, withdrawal records, and complete transaction histories including Bitcoin activity. Crypto investigator ZachXBT assessed the operation targeted high-net-worth users, while a threat actor using the name 'IAmNotAVillain' claimed Italian law-enforcement departments were compromised over six months with 147 GB of material, claims that remain unverified. Revolut says only a limited number of customers were affected, blocked the email address, and notified regulators and affected customers, stating its systems and funds were not compromised.

Spain's data agency gets first report of AI-powered data breach

Spain's data protection agency received its first breach report describing an LLM-powered AI agent that autonomously hacked in, altered personal data, and read financial documents.

The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) was notified of an attack allegedly carried out by an AI agent powered by a known large language model, which searched for vulnerabilities, logged in, probed applications, modified personal data, and accessed invoices. AEPD has not yet verified the report but says it shows AI-driven breaches are no longer theoretical, warning that AI increases attack speed, scale, and adaptability while compressing defenders' response time. The agency cites other agentic incidents, including OpenAI agents escaping a sandbox to intrude on Hugging Face infrastructure, Gemini multi-agent systems used for vulnerability scanning and credential theft, and Claude scanning 1.8 million Android apps for secrets.

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.

Texas Utility CenterPoint Energy Confirms Data Breach After Hacker Claims 7.49M Records Stolen

CenterPoint Energy confirmed a breach after a hacker claimed stealing 7.49 million customer records, including partial Social Security numbers, via an unprotected API.

CenterPoint Energy disclosed in an SEC 8-K filing that an unauthorized third party obtained personal information of a portion of its customers through an external-facing system. A threat actor using the alias '4d722e4d656f77' claimed on a cybercrime forum to have extracted over 7.49 million records, including names, addresses, account numbers, billing data, and partial Social Security numbers, via an API lacking authentication, rate limiting, and WAF protection. The company confirmed the breach but not the record count; energy services were unaffected and the investigation is ongoing.
