A security alert has emerged over the use of surveillance cameras from Chinese manufacturer Dahua in certain Leapmotor electric vehicles, despite the company’s products being blacklisted by the U.S. government over national security concerns. Reports indicate these cameras, which may include facial recognition capabilities, have been installed in some models, raising questions about data privacy and potential vulnerabilities. The discovery follows broader scrutiny of Chinese tech in consumer electronics amid geopolitical tensions. Authorities and cybersecurity experts are now examining the implications of these findings.
