Bloomberg has reported that a group of hackers have breached a database containing security camera feeds collected by Verkada Inc., a Silicon Valley startup. The database includes live feeds of 150,000 surveillance cameras inside hospitals, organizations, police departments, prisons and schools.
According to Bloomberg, Tesla Inc. and software provider Cloudflare Inc. were exposed in the breach. Hackers say they were able to access video feeds from women's health clinics, psychiatric hospitals and the offices of Verkada, as well as access to some of the cameras using facial recognition technology. Bloomberg obtained video records, confirming the breach.
