Flock ALPR camera found with hard-coded credentials and outdated Android

A blog post by Micah Lee, based on a dataset published by DDoSecrets from a collective called stegan0gram, describes security flaws in a Flock ALPR camera. The camera ran Android 8.1 with a security patch level from 2018-06-05, missing years of updates. The firmware contained a hard-coded API key for Flock’s backend service, presumably allowing credential retrieval for any camera. Logs revealed the camera’s location in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
