• I-Team: Flock warns CT police about a security breach, but records reveal the company knew about it months ago (wfsb.com) — Ledyard's police chief has asked to end the town's contract with Flock license plate readers after learning more about a security incident that exposed the locations of hundreds of thousands of devices. The report details how Flock knew about the vulnerability months earlier, raising questions about delayed disclosure, system security, and transparency that could affect how Ledyard and other Connecticut communities use these cameras.
