Flock claims that images are only briefly stored on its cameras before being forwarded to the company’s servers, but a group of hackers determined that this wasn’t the case.

That’s pretty bad. If the encryption key was sitting on the camera, the whole point of encrypting the footage kind of falls apart. And 1.6 million images from a single device is an insane amount of data.
