Motorola’s ALPR Blunder: Your Car’s 15 Minutes of (Unwanted) Fame
Motorola’s ALPR cameras are capturing data faster than a paparazzo at a celebrity wedding. Unfortunately, a security flaw has exposed these real-time video feeds and vehicle records without any passwords. Matt Brown, a security researcher, discovered this oversight, suggesting not all cameras should be trusted with their internet fame.
Hot Take:
Who knew that our cars were seeking fame as much as we do on Instagram? Motorola’s ALPR cameras are giving vehicle photobombing a whole new meaning, capturing not just their best side but their make, model, and license plate too. Who needs Big Brother when Big Bumper is on the case?
