Misconfigured license plate readers are leaking data and video in real time
Briefly

The exposure of live video feeds from over 150 Motorola Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras has raised significant concerns about privacy and security, highlighting the urgent need for more robust configurations to protect sensitive data.
Security researcher Matt Brown's discovery of the leaks underscores the potential dangers of ALPR technologies not just to privacy but also to public trust in law enforcement practices, prompting a reevaluation of surveillance measures.
Motorola confirmed the issue, stating they are working swiftly with their customers to address and mitigate the exposure of video feeds and vehicular logs accessible without security credentials.
With an increasing number of these cameras deployed across the U.S., the unintended broadcasting of real-time data poses a substantial risk, particularly as the public remains largely unaware of how their movements are monitored.
