Hacker collective gains access to 150,000 security camera feeds

A massive hack of security cameras from a security vendor Verkada has exposed about 150,000 live video feeds, including dozens of Tesla factory and warehouse cameras and security feeds inside hospitals, police departments, and jails.

A hacktivist collective claimed credit for the early March breach, saying that the purpose of the attack was to demonstrate the pervasiveness of video surveillance and the ease with which video cameras can be compromised. Swiss police raided the home of hacker Tillie Kottmann, a member of the collective, on March 12, but the search warrant was focused on an older data breach.
