新华网北京6月25日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道， 美国麻省州立大学卢维尔分校近期的一项研究发现，黑客可利用谷歌眼镜和iPhone等数码产品远程盗取智能手机密码，进而获取手机中的信息。
据报道，研究人员通过一副谷歌眼镜、一部iPhone 5以及一枚罗技摄像头来测试黑客如何通过这些设备远程盗取手机密码。研究结果表明，谷歌眼镜在3米外获取密码的准确度达到83%，甚至在无法看见目标手机屏幕的情况下仍然可以进行密码盗取。如果将摄像头换为更高级的罗技网络摄像头，那么盗取密码密码的准确度将提高到92%。
“我认为这给谷歌眼镜、智能手表等数码产品亮了警灯”，参与研究的计算机专家Xinwen Fu表示，“如果有人能拍摄下你输入手机密码时的视频，这意味着你的一切信息都被曝光了。”
专家建议，在设置手机密码时，尽量避免与自己的银行卡密码相同。此外，不要选择1234或1111这样的简单组合作为密码。对于iPhone用户来说，可关闭“简单密码”这一选项，从而设置更加复杂和难以破解的密码组合。而安卓用户则可以选择使用面部识别功能进行解锁。

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Lowell recently conducted a study illustrating how easy it is to steal phone PINS, even from across the room. They used cameras on Google Glass, an iPhone 5, and a Logitech webcam to test how well these devices can record when people entered their passwords. Glass could detect someone"s PIN with 83 percent accuracy from 3 meters away, even when the screen wasn"t visible. The webcam correctly recorded passwords with 92 percent accuracy.
The Wiredtalked to Xinwen Fu, a computer scientist working on the project. "I think of this as a kind of alert about Google Glass, smartwatches, all these devices," Fu told them. "If someone can take a video of you typing on the screen, you lose everything."
So, what is to be done? Make your mobile PIN different than your ATM PIN or other important passcodes, for starters. Choosing a password other than 1234 or 1111 is also something you should"ve already done, because those passwords are dumb. For iPhone users, you can turn off the "Simple Passcode" in Settings to give yourself a longer, more complicated password. For Android, you can choose to unlock your phone via facial recognition if you have Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, or select a more sophisticated lock screen password than the standard four-digit option.
