Like others pointed out, this is probably the root shell of the cameras and not any system. See the partition names and ramdisk, typical for cameras.

Was this all disclosed responsibly? All of that should have been worth millions in bug bounties, at least.

If they wanted to end "surveillance capitalism", helping the company that supply these systems secure them better would not help their goal.

Or maybe they can collect the millions, and publish the compromising material anyway? Although if they had given you money, they'd have your law-enforcement compatible personal information.

Edit: ah I thought he was^W^W they were being anonymous, his^W their twitter point to his^W their website...

Just use “they” without any of that nonsense. Show some basic respect to the hacker who popped root shells inside Cloudflare and Tesla networks, without leveraging it to enrich themselves in any way.
