An international group of hackers breached the network of Verkada, a California-based security start-up, and accessed live feeds of nearly 150,000 surveillance cameras. Surveillance footage from more than twenty four thousand schools, hospitals, prisons, and companies, including Tesla, Cloudflare, and the Verkada offices, some of which had built-in facial recognition capabilities, were accessible to the hackers. The hackers said they unintentionally found the log-in details for a Verkada “Super Admin” account publicly exposed on the internet. A Verkada spokesperson said the company has closed the breach and launched an investigation into the incident.
