The FBI investigated a case in which Kottmann was involved in leaking hacked material to expose security flaws last year. He claimed that the raid wasn’t related to the Verkada hack but was tied to an earlier FBI investigation. Later, Kottmann shared more details on the social media site Mastodon last week. Verkada later contained the hack by disabling all internal administrator accounts. The group said their goal was to raise awareness about global mass surveillance. To gain access, they logged in to internal administrator accounts by using leaked credentials and in this way got access to video streams from connected Verkada’s cameras. Kottmann is a member of a group of “hacktivists” who hacked into live streams of various companies and institutions like hospitals, schools, factories, and jails in different countries on Monday and Tuesday last week.

The Swiss office declined to provide further comments and said to forward all questions to “the relevant US authority.” The hacker said online that during the raid, the police seized his electronic devices.
