Wired is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1993, the company employs approximately 580 individuals and operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. It specializes in publishing content focused on technology, information, and the internet, targeting a tech-savvy audience.
On September 3, 2026, Wired reported that Flock Safety transitioned to predictive surveillance, with its AI-powered search tool allowing police to monitor multiple cameras simultaneously for real-time tracking of individuals matching text descriptions, a shift from retrospective investigation to identifying subjects "right now." Previously, on August 26, 2026, Wired published the results of a nearly two-year investigation by Vangelis Stykas into North Korean cyber operations, detailing their targeting of the healthcare sector, sometimes initiated through routine scenarios like job interviews. This followed a Wired investigation published on August 20, 2026, which revealed that Flock Safety's automated cameras, operating in over 6,000 U.S. communities, build driver profiles by reading movement patterns, contradicting the company's public assurances that its technology "cannot recognize, identify or track individuals."
