    So… all that data is literally there for any unauthorized person to walk up and take it.

    It’s not even suitably encrypted on device?

    Zero trust in anything Flock says.

      has been for a long time - there&#x27;s a sound engineer who developed quite a following (and is fairly involved with local movement hackerspaces) who demo&#x27;d how easy it was to hack Flock cameras nearly a year ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=uB0gr7Fh6lY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=uB0gr7Fh6lY

      the Flock response has been &#x27;it doesn&#x27;t count if a Youtuber did it&#x27; lol: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0ADb-qQ5hMY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0ADb-qQ5hMY
