Surveillance footage from companies such as Tesla as well as hospitals, prisons, police departments and schools was accessed in the hack.
Hackers claim to have breached Silicon Valley startup Verkada to gain unauthorized access to live feeds of 150,000 security cameras. They claim, the hack gave them widespread access to surveillance footage within companies such as Tesla and Cloudflare, as well as hospitals, companies, law-enforcement departments, schools and prisons.
The group provided video footage from cameras managed by San Mateo, Calif.-based Verkada to Bloomberg to prove the success of their breach, according to a report published on the news outlet’s website. Verkada provides and manages a web-based network of security cameras to customers and claims to be a more secure and scalable alternative to on-premises solutions for video surveillance.
