You did this.
Senator Wyden and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi have formally requested that the FTC open an investigation into Flock Safety for unnecessarily exposing billions of instances of civilian's vehicle location data to hackers and foreign adversaires.

I'm proud our research is a part of this, and I can't think of a cooler sneak preview for a full-scale investigative video project than a national security statement by my country's legislators.
But it's worth pointing out that without this community and support, I simply would not have been able to afford an technical investigation of this size, and it's very likely that this, along with a long list of other enormous vulnerabilities that my view will cover, may have gone unnoticed.

Does anyone know what these new tiny barrel shaped flock cameras are called and what they can do? I assume they use IR to see through their plastic
isn't ir also used sometimes to detect speed?
Im an Amazon driver and having an ai 360° camera count my pubes while Im late on my route while I’m pissing in a bottle in the middle of nowhere is so fun. 🥸 don’t even get me started on the ring cameras nonstop alerting you that you are currently on camera
On one of the routes I do sometimes, there is this one house that has at least 5 different cameras all with a British guy announcing "Attention please! The area is under surveillance!", so I hear this phrase at least 20 times by the time I walk up, leave the package, and walk away. I'm so tired of it.
Benn, I wish there were more people like you. As an MBA student I can only contribute so much right now, but I will be doing more to help with your projects in the future. I love you! 💗
Please don’t learn too much from other MBAs 😉
Your videos were eye opening. Had to sign up to support.
I just watched the most recent YouTube post (hacking 80k police cameras) and gotta say -- Hell YES Benn!!! This is amazing work. Keep knockin' it out of the park.
Can I have the song you made in the flock safety video? You can poison pill it- I just want to listen to it on a loop while I work and I got Patreon hoping I could just have this one thing
check his Discord, you might find better luck there! :)
We need more Benn Jordans in this world.
Louis Rossmans, TOO!
Thank you for shining a light on this BS
"Security researcher" :) Loved that. Didn't you used to be in a band or something?
Benn, a musician? nope, can't see it.
Well done, thank you for all your hard work.
This is amazing!!! I have written to my local paper hoping that perhaps that these insights learned from your video + my own trips down the rabbit holes of interests might help inspire more folks to take action or at least voice their own opinions and concerns on the topics.
You're doing the real work, coming from the right place internally, and for the right reasons. Imagine the world we would have if such work ethics were more commonplace?....At any rate, thanks for doing what you do so well. I find it inspiring.
Thank you for letting us support you! 💛
I'm just happy to be part of anything your working on. If i could do more i would. Ty for being good at what you do. Makes me want to work harder.
Not all heros wear capes, while I think Benn deserves one. <3 keep it up and I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm proud to be one of your supporters.
Hell yeah. Love it.
Legitimately the best $5 a month money can buy.
Well done! Yea, this bit has been your most quotable work to date.
You do amazing work Benn. Proud to be a small, tiny part of it
The wording of the statement makes it seem that Flock would be just fine if only they enforced MFA, but from your video I got a very different impression on why this company should not be allowed to operate.
The Gainsec research + my video will expose 20+ CVEs and 40+ security issues, and the number is still growing. This is only the beginning.
THANK YOU BENN
Chiming in with others to say I couldn’t be happier supporting your work.
Kudos to you, Benn! This is huge. I'm happy to support your amazing work.
That is phenomenal, so glad to be a part of supporting this!
Thanks a million times for your hard work!

You are a rockstar. Lots of love
Your work is so impactful and important and we are grateful for the opportunity to help make it possible 🙏🏻

Louis Rossman and the people of Austin are pushing back too, no cameras in our neighborhoods!
