To break out any password due to modern technology is quite simple. This was proved by researchers from the University of Massachusetts, which developed for this purpose special software.
Researchers claim that using augmented reality glasses Google Glass can recognize the password from 83 percent accuracy at a distance of three meters, even when the screen itself, which password is entered, practically invisible.
Google Glass is not the only mobile device that participated in the study. Also, experts tested the smartphone iPhone 5 and Logitech webcam in order to show how to use the modern devices and special software can easily steal your password in seconds without special skills and knowledge. Accuracy webcam with code reading is approximately 92%. But it is obvious that Google Glass in this list are the most dangerous gadget, considering that with these points the attacker can act stealthily.
It should be noted that to read PIN-codes and passwords researchers took not only a mobile device with a camera, but also the special software that tracks the movement of the user's fingers and cast their shadows, and then determines the input characters on the screen.
A study conducted by experts from the University of Massachusetts, once again proves that we must be more vigilant in the security of their data.
By the way, Google Glass already banned the use of not only driving, but also when watching a movie in a movie theater. The ban glasses augmented reality get in many movie theaters in the UK.
According to the publication, in UK cinemas in all seriousness forbid the wearing of glasses Google Glass. This decision was taken due to the fact that some people can use them to create pirate copies of films for distribution. Related Products :
