"In just 20 minutes this morning, an automated license plate recognition (ALPR) system in Nashville, Tennessee captured photographs and detailed information from nearly 1,000 vehicles as they passed by. Among them: eight black Jeep Wranglers, six Honda Accords, an ambulance, and a yellow Ford Fiesta with a vanity plate.
This trove of real-time vehicle data, collected by one of Motorola’s ALPR systems, is meant to be accessible by law enforcement. However, a flaw discovered by a security researcher has exposed live video feeds and detailed records of passing vehicles, revealing the staggering scale of surveillance enabled by this widespread technology.

More than 150 Motorola ALPR cameras have exposed their video feeds and leaking data in recent months, according to security researcher Matt Brown, who first publicised the issues in a series of YouTube videos after buying an ALPR camera on eBay and reverse engineering it."

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world Yes, because they do worse… :-/

@ointersexo Durante muitos anos não tive celular - só tablet. O problema é que cada vez mais muitos serviço básicos - banco, cartão de refeição, etc. - só funcionam com smartphone porque exigem uma app. Isso aí complica o cenário. Os reguladores para a concorrência deviam obrigar esses provedores a fornecerem uma versão web dessas mesmas app sem necessidade de recorrer a um celular.

@ointersexo Sim, vejo cada vez mais gente a optar por um velho “tijolo”
