• Abstract summary: Data theft and other forms of cyberattack pose serious threats to virtual reality systems. As a result, AR systems are just as vulnerable as any other Internet of Things (IoT) device we use on a daily basis. Cybercriminals can exploit virtual reality headsets just like any other computer system.

• Abstract: Virtual reality and related technologies such as mixed and augmented reality have received extensive coverage in both mainstream and fringe media outlets. When the subject goes to a new AR headset, another AR device, or AR glasses, the talk swiftly shifts to the technical and design details. Unfortunately, no one seemed to care about security. Data theft and other forms of cyberattack pose serious threats to virtual reality systems. Virtual reality goggles are just specialist versions of computers or Internet of Things devices, whereas virtual reality experiences are software packages. As a result, AR systems are just as vulnerable as any other Internet of Things (IoT) device we use on a daily basis, such as computers, tablets, and phones. Preventing and responding to common cybersecurity threats and assaults is crucial. Cybercriminals can exploit virtual reality headsets just like any other computer system. This paper analysis the data breach induced by these assaults could result in a variety of concerns, including but not limited to identity theft, the unauthorized acquisition of personal information or network credentials, damage to hardware and software, and so on. Augmented reality (AR) allows for real-time monitoring and visualization of network activity, system logs, and security alerts. This allows security professionals to immediately identify threats, monitor suspicious activities, and fix any issues that develop. This data can be displayed in an aesthetically pleasing and intuitively structured format using augmented reality interfaces, enabling for faster analysis and decision-making.

  We unveil GAZEploit, a novel eye-tracking based attack specifically designed to exploit these eye-tracking information by leveraging the common use of virtual appearances in VR applications. Our research, involving 30 participants, achieved over 80% accuracy in keystroke inference. Our study also identified over 15 top-rated apps in the Apple Store as vulnerable to the GAZEploit attack, emphasizing the urgent need for bolstered security measures for this state-of-the-art VR/MR text entry method.

  The digitization of all processes and the opening to IoT devices has fostered the emergence of a new formof crime, i.e. cybercrime. The maliciousness of such attacks lies in the fact that they turn users into facilitators of cyber-attacks, to the point of being perceived as the weak link'' of cybersecurity. Knowing how to anticipate, identifying weak signals and outliers, detect early and react quickly to computer crime are therefore priority issues requiring a prevention and cooperation approach.

  We show that a large number of real VR users can be uniquely and reliably identified across multiple sessions using just their head and hand motion. After training a classification model on 5 minutes of data per person, a user can be uniquely identified amongst the entire pool of 50,000+ with 94.33% accuracy from 100 seconds of motion. This work is the first to truly demonstrate the extent to which biomechanics may serve as a unique identifier in VR, on par with widely used biometrics such as facial or fingerprint recognition.
