150,000 security cameras hacked, exposing Tesla, prisons, hospitals

Hackers gained access through a 'Super Admin' account, allowing them to peer into the cameras

A group of hackers say they breached a massive trove of security-camera data collected by Silicon Valley start-up Verkada, gaining access to live feeds of 150,000 surveillance cameras inside hospitals, companies, police departments, prisons and schools.
 
Companies whose footage was exposed include carmaker Tesla and software provider Cloudflare.

Some of the cameras, including in hospitals, use facial-recognition technology to identify and categorise people captured on the footage. The hackers say they also have access to the full video
