  Hackers could monitor your BRAINWAVES to steal passwords

  防不胜防!黑客已能监控脑电波获取密码

  Researchers have revealed that brainwaves can be used to steal online passwords.

  研究人员已经发现,人的脑电波可能被利用来窃取网络密码。

  A team at the University of Alabama at Birmingham found brainwave-sensing headsets, also known as EEG or electroencephalograph headsets, put users at risk.

  伯明翰阿拉巴马大学一个研究团队发现,脑波传感器使用户处于巨大风险之中。

  They have become commonplace both as medical devices but also as game controllers, ranging in price from $150 to $800.

  这些仪器在医疗器械和游戏控制器中很普遍,价格从150美元到800美元不等。

  ’These emerging devices open immense opportunities for everyday users,’ said Nitesh Saxena, Ph.D., associate professor in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences Department of Computer and Information Sciences.

  阿拉巴马大学艺术科学学院计算机与信息科学系副教授Nitesh Saxena博士表示:“这些新设备在用户之间存在广阔的市场。”

  ’However, they could also raise significant security and privacy threats as companies work to develop even more advanced brain-computer interface technology.’

  “但是随着企业开发更加先进的脑机接口技术,也可能引发重大的安全和隐私威胁。

  The team found that a person who paused a video game and logged into a bank account while wearing an EEG headset was at risk for having their passwords or other sensitive data stolen by a malicious software program.

  该团队发现,对于那些佩戴脑波设备暂停游戏登陆银行账户的人来说,他们就存在着被恶意软件窃取密码或者其他敏感数据的风险。

  Saxena and his team used one EEG headset currently available to consumers online and one clinical-grade headset used for scientific research to demonstrate how easily a malicious software program could passively eavesdrop on a user’s brainwaves.

  Saxena和他团队使用了两种脑波设备——一种能在网上买到,另一种则是用于科学研究的临床级别设备,从而展示恶意软件多么轻松地就能被动窃取用户的脑电波。

  While typing, a user’s inputs correspond with their visual processing, as well as hand, eye and head muscle movements.

  在打字的时候,用户的输入是与视觉处理,以及手、眼和头部肌肉的运动相一致的。

  All these movements are captured by EEG headsets.

  而所有这些动作都能被脑波设备捕捉到。
