Verkada was breached on Monday, when hackers gained access to what’s known as a “Super Admin” account that allowed them to see all of the live feeds and archived videos of Verkada’s customers, Bloomberg reported. With access to 150,000 cameras, the hackers were able to see inside Tesla Inc., as well as watch police interviews and witness hospital employees tackling a patient. The use of Super Admin accounts within Verkada was so widespread that it extended even to sales staff and interns, two of the employees said. “We literally had 20-year-old interns that had access to over 100,000 cameras and could view all of their feeds globally,” said one former senior-level employee, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. [...] This week’s breach of the company was carried out by an international hacker collective based in Europe. Tillie Kottmann, one of the hackers who claimed credit for the incident, said they wanted to show the pervasiveness of video surveillance and the ease with which those systems could expose users’ confidential spaces. [...] “Nobody cared about checking the logs,” the person said. “You could put whatever you wanted in that note; you could even just enter a single space.” Verkada also offers a “privacy mode” to customers, allowing cameras to be hidden from Verkada employees, according to a former employee. But Super Admin accounts would allow employees to turn off that feature, allowing them to see the camera footage, the former employee said. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-11/verkada-workers-had-exten... Domande per i giuristi in lista: immaginiamo un'azienda, un comune o una scuola italiana che sia cliente di Verkada: - Come risponde, il responsabile del trattamento (proprietario, sindaco, preside...), del data breach? - I data subject hanno diritto ad un risarcimento danni?
