Wyze knew hackers could remotely access your camera for three years and said nothing | The Verge

I just learned that for the past three years, Wyze has been fully aware of a vulnerability in its home security cameras that could have let hackers look into your home over the internet — but chose to sweep it under the rug. And the security firm that found the vulnerability largely let them do it.

Are you a Wyze customer? Is that wise?

1.8 TB of #Police #Helicopter #Surveillance Footage Leaks #Online

Some of the leaked #Dallas and #Atlanta footage reflects the types of uses you might expect from police helicopters: crowd surveillance over stadium parking lots on game day, for example, or officers pulling a car over. But other scenes in the footage have a more aimless, roving quality.

A #CCTV #Company Is Paying #Remote Workers in #India to Yell at Armed Robbers

In one of the sample videos #LiveEye sends potential customers, two black-clad robbers, one carrying an assault rifle, run into what appears to be a #7-Eleven store and force the clerk behind the counter. As the clerk starts to open the cash register, the Live Eye system dings and a voice informs the robbers that the police have been called. They run out of the store.

“That’s how someone is going to get killed,” the former field consultant said. “You don’t startle someone with an assault rifle. That violates 7-Eleven policy. There’s a reason why the silent alarm is silent” at banks and other businesses.
