"EFF Issues New Warning After Discovery of Automated License Plate Reader Vulnerabilities"
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) warns of risks and threats associated with mass surveillance technologies after the disclosure of several potentially severe vulnerabilities in Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs). ALPRs are high-speed camera systems that automatically capture license plate numbers in their view. They can also capture location, date, time, and other data. The organization's latest warning follows the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) advisory about vulnerabilities in Vigilant license plate readers made by Motorola Solutions. The flaws can enable attackers to bypass authentication, access sensitive information, deploy backdoors, and shut down cameras. This article continues to discuss EFF's warning over the use of automated license plate readers following the discovery of serious vulnerabilities.
