Without additional context it's hard to determine whether this warrants more than a passing level of concern.
>The July 3rd video appears to have been recorded on a smartphone, which shows in-van surveillance footage being played on a PC monitor in an office that resembles that of an Amazon delivery service partner (DSP)
How is this any different than surveillance cameras that are installed nearly everywhere? I'm sure that for most establishments out there, you could walk into the back office, pull up whatever footage you want, and record with your smartphone. Was there something Amazon that could have done to prevent this? Should they make everyone pinky promise that they wont do it? Should they put the surveillance equipment in a SCIF-like room to prevent leaks? Moreover, how much control does Amazon have in situations like this? DSPs are independently owned and operated. The most they can do is set some sort of policy against this, and maybe mandate anti-leak training. I'm not sure what exactly they can do to proactively prevent incidents like this.
