Google glass can steal your password, even your banking account information.

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Lowell developed software that can steal passwords using Google Glass and other video-enabled devices, according to Wired. The software uses a video recognition algorithm that can track shadows from finger taps on smartphones and tablets. The algorithm can spot pin codes about 10 feet away without capturing any images from the targeted devices. “If they can see the screen, see your finger, then pretty much your password is stolen,” Xinwen Fu, computer science expert at UMass Lowell told The DailyCaller. Researchers used other devices including Google Glass, iPhone 5 camera and a $72 Logitech webcam. According to Wired, Glass spotted a PIN number from three meters away with 83 percent accuracy, webcam video revealed the code with 92 percent accuracy and the iPhone camera spotted the code in every case. 

“I think of this as a kind of alert about Google Glass, smart watches, all these devices,” Fu said. “If someone can take video of you typing on the screen, you lose everything.”

Google, which has received criticism for invasion of privacy, remains defensive about the gadget. 

“Unfortunately, stealing passwords by watching people as they type them..is nothing new,” a Google spokesman wrote in a statement. “We designed Glass with privacy in mind. The fact that glass is worn above the eyes and the screen lights up whenever its activated clearly signals it’s in use and makes it a fairly lousy surveillance device.”

Fu insists Google Glass gives a better angle and is less noticeable. “Any camera works, but you can’t hold your iPhone over someone to do this. Because Glass is on your head, it’s perfect for this kind of sneaky attack.” 

As a solution, Fu and his team created an app called Privacy Enhancing Keyboard (PEK) that randomizes the layout of a phone or tablet lock screen keyboard.
