    The Register reported the Perceptics breach on May 23: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/23/perceptics_hacked_license_plate_recognition/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/23/perceptics_hacked_l...

      Sorry I was unclear and linked to the wrong article, I meant that wapo journo poking around led to DHS & CBP responding on the record. It was one in the line of recent articles about facial recognition that travelers can opt-out of but nobody is sure how exactly you are supposed to do so. The wapo article I linked did attribute The Register info linking Perceptics. Both wapo articles are linked in this tweet: https://twitter.com/geoffreyfowler/status/1138176279222444032 https://twitter.com/geoffreyfowler/status/113817627922244403... > And on Monday, after I published this column online, Department of Homeland Security officials called me to disclose that photos of travelers were recently taken in a data breach, accessed through the network of one of its subcontractors.

  Yes, one of the bright lights at CBP left the name in the title of an otherwise redacted Microsoft Word document, confirming that it's them.
