You know how we are installing Flock LPR (license plate recognition) and red light cameras everywhere?
Well, do you know how they recently targeted the Iranian leaders? Surveillance cameras! Yep, they hacked right into the network.
AP NewsBy DAKE KANG and SAM MEDNICKMarch 23, 2026The role of Israel’s hijacking of Iran’s street cameras in the killing of the country’s supreme leader underscores how surveillance systems are increasingly being targeted by adversaries in wartime.Hundreds of millions of cameras have been installed above shops, in homes and on street corners across the world, many connected to the internet and poorly secured. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled militaries and intelligence agencies to sift through vast amounts of surveillance footage and identify targets.On Feb. 28, Israel vividly demonstrated the potential of such systems to be hacked and used against adversaries when Israel tracked down Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the help of Tehran’s own street cameras - despite repeated warnings that Iran’s surveillance systems had been compromised, according to interviews and an Associated Press review of leaked data, public statements and news reports.
Do you think Trump’s team has considered that this exact 'trick' could be used against us by Iran or other adversaries... to track political targets on our own soil?
Big Brother is watching you... but who knows who else is watching Big Brother?
