Smartwatches And Fitness Trackers Are Giving Away Your Atm Pin
Yan Wang from Binghamton University in the US, says,”Wearable devices can be exploited. Attackers can reproduce the trajectories of the user’s hand and recover secret key entries to ATM cash machines, electronic door locks, and keypad-controlled enterprise servers,” In one of the experiments, researchers consolidated data from implanted sensors in wearables such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, paired them with a computer algorithm for cracking secret PINs and passwords. Surprisingly, they attained 80 percent accuracy on the first attempt and higher than 90 percent accuracy after three trials....
