"Hack a VR System, Lead a Player Astray? Yes, Say Researchers"

A team of researchers from the University of New Haven have highlighted the vulnerability of virtual reality (VR) systems to being hacked. Researchers demonstrated a malware attack on VR systems, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, in which the view displayed by such systems is altered. This article continues to discuss the security vulnerabilities discovered to be contained by VR systems, the proof-of-concept attack on VR systems demonstrated by researchers, potential dangers of such attacks, and responses to the study.
