Phone Malware

January 1, 2013 14:33:25.911

Well, this is a cheery sounding bit of news:

Today Robert Templeman at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana, and a few pals at Indiana University reveal an entirely new class of ‘visual malware’ capable of recording and reconstructing a user’s environment in 3D. This then allows the theft of virtual objects such as financial information, data on computer screens and identity-related information.

You download a camera app, but it's actually this thing. Awesome.

Or perhaps the right word is scarysome.
