Motorola's ALPR system has suffered a significant data breach, exposing live video feeds and detailed vehicle records including license plates, car makes, models, and colors across the US. The breach occurred due to misconfiguration, allowing unrestricted internet access to real-time surveillance data without any authentication requirement. This information was meant for law enforcement use, but the flaw discovered by a security researcher led to unintentional public exposure, compromising vehicle owner privacy and highlighting the potential for surveillance abuse.
