Flock becomes a CVE Numbering Authority
Original: Flock is now a CVE Numbering Authority assigning CVE IDs for Flock branded hardware and software products only. https://
Surveillance company Flock has been added to the CVE Program as a CVE Numbering Authority, meaning it can now assign official CVE identifiers to security vulnerabilities in its own Flock-branded hardware and software products. The designation, announced by the CVE Program, is drawing attention in the cybersecurity community given debate over Flock's surveillance footprint and how the company will handle disclosure of flaws in its own systems.
Why now: The cybersecurity community is discussing whether a surveillance vendor assigning CVE IDs to its own products strengthens or complicates vulnerability disclosure.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 2 snapshots from 6 h ago to 6 h ago.
