"How criminals can steal your PIN by tracking the motion of your phone"

Cyber researchers at Newcastle University have discovered that it is possible for hackers to crack PINs and passwords by using malicious websites and apps to spy on users just based on the motion of 25 different standard sensors integrated into most smart devices. This allows hackers to easily monitor what a user is typing, clicking, and browsing. This article further discusses the findings of these researchers on the vulnerabilities of websites and apps that would allow this type of privacy invasion, how particular sensors can be monitored by hackers, and how users can protect themselves from this attack.
