The Password is Stolen by Device’s Screen


According to web design in Cambodia Digital Marketing Agency reported the way to steal passwords entered on a smartphone or tablet has been developed.

By this way the thief can be away from you about ten feet and does not need to be able read the screen, but they can know your password by using video from Google’s face-mounted device and other video capture devices.

One more thing the security researchers created software that maps the shadows from fingertips typing on a tablet or smartphone. Then their algorithm then converts those touch points into the actual keys they were touching, enabling the researchers to crack the passcode.

“Unfortunately, stealing passwords by watching people as they type them into ATMs and laptops is nothing new,” said a Google spokesman in an emailed statement. “The fact that Glass is worn above the eyes and the screen lights up whenever it’s activated clearly signals it’s in use and makes it a fairly lousy surveillance device.”
