Lawmakers have called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the security of the group, the company that implements license scanning cameras, because it failed to apply the camera protection to hackers and spies.
At letter sent by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-or) and Rep. King Krishnamoorthi (D-IL, 8th), lawmakers are trying to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson why not enforce the use multi-factor authentication (MFA), a security protection that prevents malicious access by someone with knowledge of your account’s password.
Wyden and KrishnamoThi said that while the company offers law enforcement customers, “gathering does not require it, which was confirmed by Congress in October,” according to the letter.
Wyden and KrishnamoThi said that if a hacker or a foreigner learns about the password of a law enforcement user, “they can search for a photo of the license of the website collected by the camera financed by the financing of the country.”
Monkey operates one of the largest networks of cameras and license plates in the US, providing access to more than 5,000 police departments, as well as private businesses, across the country. The Flock Scan License Plate camera passes the vehicle so that the police and federal agencies with the platform go to multiple photo platforms and track where the vehicle has been enforced.
Lawmakers say they have found evidence of hacking customers’ logins gathered before they were stolen and show data from Rock, cywords cywords and stolen passwords Information-theftSee rank-.
Independent security researcher Benn Yordan also provided lawmakers with images showing a cybercrime forum allegedly selling access to a group of logins.
When reached by TechCrunch for comment, Sheep pointed to the company’s response to the letter from the chief legal officer and Haley, and that 97% of law enforcement customers have enabled MFA.
About 3% of the company’s customers – potentially law enforcement agencies – who have refused to switch MFA reasons, wrote “specifically for them,” said Haley.
Beilin, the spokesman for the sheep, did not immediately provide customers with legal curiosity that has not been turned on one of the remaining customers, or why the reason does not require customers to switch security features.
404 media previously reported that the US drug enforcement administration used local police passwords to access sheep cameras to search for individuals suspected of “immigration violations,” but without the officials’ knowledge. The Plains Heights police department said it turned in the following multiple affidavits.
