Two Harvard Students Hack Smart Glasses to Use Facial Recognition and Identify People Almost Instantaneously
Two Harvard students have made headlines after converting Meta’s smart glasses into a device that automatically captures people’s faces with facial recognition, and then runs them through face search engines so that they can identify them and look up their personal information, including addresses, almost instantaneously. There are two lessons to learn here. First, be aware of people in the public wearing eye glasses, as they may be recording you. Secondly, don't put photos of yourself or your children online on social media sites, or anywhere else online. Also, start using old fashioned cameras that are just "cameras" and are not connected to the Internet, and stop taking pictures of yourself and your family with cell phones. Cover up the camera lens on your cell phone when you are not using it.
