Lawmakers ask FTC to investigate Flock Safety over missing MFA requirement

Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission urging an investigation into Flock Safety for not requiring multi-factor authentication on its license-plate camera platform. The lawmakers said stolen police logins had been shared online and a Russian cybercrime forum allegedly sold access to Flock logins. Flock said it enabled MFA by default for new customers in November 2024 and that 97% of its law enforcement customers have enabled it.
