Flock disclosed Connecticut security breach months after company knew
Original: Flock warns Conn. police about security breach, but records reveal company knew about it months ago
Surveillance company Flock has warned Connecticut police departments of a security breach, but records indicate the company was aware of the problem months before notifying law enforcement. The delayed disclosure is drawing scrutiny of Flock's data practices and its relationships with police agencies that rely on its cameras and license-plate reading technology.
Why now: The discrepancy between when Flock knew of the breach and when it told Connecticut police raises accountability concerns about a company whose surveillance tools are widely used by law enforcement.
