<\/p>

A\nrecent study by the University of Macau (UM) and the University of\nMassachusetts (UMass) in Lowell has found that smart devices such as iPhones\nand Google Glasses can be exploited by hackers to steal passwords entered on a\nsmartphone or tablet, including bank account passwords.<\/p>

<\/p>

The\ncollaborative research was conducted by two teams, led by UM Rector Wei Zhao\nand UMass Lowell professor Fu Xinwen. The research teams have created software\nthat maps the shadows from fingertips typing on a tablet or smartphone. The\nalgorithm then coverts those touch points into the actual keys they were\ntouching, allowing the researchers to crack the password.<\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResearchers tested the software with an iPhone 5, a\nhigh definition camera worth USD 72, and a Google Glass. They found that the\naccuracy reaches 83 per cent when a Google Glass is used and the target is\nplaced three metres away, whereas the accuracy reaches 92 per cent when using\nan iPhone 5 or a Logitech camera. In both cases the hackers do not need to be\nable to read the screen. Therefore, if a person accesses his bank account on a\nsmart device in this circumstance, his bank account password will very likely\nbe cracked. Experts suggest that users should set up a long and more complex\npassword for their smartphones or tablets against hackers. This study has been\nwidely reported by the international media overseas, including CNN.<\/p>
