      There is this company in China named SenseNets. They make artificial intelligence-based security software systems for face recognition, crowd analysis, and personal verification. And their business IP and millions of records of people tracking data is fully accessible to anyone.pic.twitter.com/Zaf6w5502i – at Congrescentrum 1931

      The database is now "protected" with a firewall rule. Although the suspicion is that all traffic from outside China is blocked for this service. At least the data is not to access the data anymore for outlanders.pic.twitter.com/mg86UWF39m

          Jeffers got a little bit lost in translation here but does this guy really say: ”details are basically not a problem.”? And no one is going to sell this database ”on the dark web” because it was given away for free for more than a half year. http://www.popyard.com/cgi-mod/newspage.cgi?num=5701276&r=0&v=0 …pic.twitter.com/YGiZRXwuPl

          But even with that confidential information publicly exposed there is no technical knowledge needed to control these cameras. The instructions for these things are also on Github. And this why you should NEVER trust technology because the people behind IT can be ignorant idIOTs.pic.twitter.com/4cY2CAC0fo

          It has been 22 days after our initial report about the SenseNets incident. I decided to start investigating the strategic & technical partners from Silicon Valley that contribute to "face recognition" part of this system. Within a few days, I'm going to share some new insights.pic.twitter.com/xqmGAZLeHW

          The company 微软 also known as @Microsoft has been a precious partner who has turned more than once a blind eye to the (technical)/(mal)practices of the engineers of SenseNets. From pirated versions of Windows servers to offering Azure Cognitive services for Face (recognition).pic.twitter.com/39jMZOKbJQ

          And this is not the first time @Microsoft was called out not to sell @Azure cognitive services to provide a face surveillance product to governments.

          After SenseNets became news the API key for cognitive services suddenly disappeared from @Github. But other sensitive materials were still leaked by the developers through their personal repos like e-mail, database, SSH and Gitlab credentials, where the lost API key was found.pic.twitter.com/hm7vuIkFQi

          At this moment it is not clear if the @Microsoft @Azure Cognitive services are still being used. The developers of SenseNets did not learn much from the previous incident and keep pushing new code and credentials to @Github for their new "Face device management system". 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️pic.twitter.com/C94gcGhcTI

          Chinese ”education” camps in the northwest Xinjiang region of China.
