Abstract

Privacy violations via spy cameras are becoming increasingly serious. With the recent advent of various smart home IoT devices, such as smart TVs and robot vacuum cleaners, spycam attacks that steal users' information are being carried out in more unpredictable ways. In this paper, we introduce a new spycam attack on a mobile WebVR environment. It is performed by a web attacker who maliciously accesses the back-facing cameras of victims' mobile devices while they are browsing the attacker's WebVR site. This has the power to allow the attacker to capture victims' surroundings even at the desired field of view through sophisticated content placement in VR scenes, resulting in serious privacy breaches for mobile VR users. In this letter, we introduce a new threat facing mobile VR and show that it practically works with major browsers in a stealthy manner.
