Google Glass wearers can steal passwords from 10ft away

A new computer vision attack could allow Google Glass wearers to steal passwords typed in on nearby tablet or smartphones – even if the attackers do not have a clear view of the screen, according to a report by CNN.

The technique could allow attackers to crack 90% of passcodes from up to ten feet distance – and regardless of whether the screen is obscured by glare. The distance is even bigger if an attacker uses a hi-def camcorder – up to 150ft, according to Wired.
