• 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.
