A tech expert discovered “an unusually ‘scary’ vulnerability” within the Apple Vision Pro headset which lets hackers flood your virtual reality with spiders, bats and other spooky terrors.
In other words, while sitting calmly in your front room with the headgear on, a military of arachnids may come out of cyberspace and crawl toward you as a barrage of bats begins to fly overhead.
It includes sound and all invading your augmented, real-life location.
Researcher Ryan Pickren recently uncovered the creepy security gap, triggered by opening harmful web sites in Safari, and wrote about how easily a user can get trapped within the neverending nightmare.
Essentially, all an individual has to do is unintentionally visit the mistaken website after which say goodbye to their sanity.
“It allows a malicious website to bypass all warnings and forcefully fill your room with an arbitrary variety of animated 3D objects,” Pickren wrote, adding that it requires “no user interaction in anyway.”
“Even higher, these features work by default out-of-the-box, so the victim doesn’t have to enable any fancy experimental features.”
Meanwhile, having to play virtual pest control after an attack only adds insult to injury.
“There isn’t any obvious strategy to eliminate them besides manually running across the room to physically tap each,” he added.
“Closing Safari doesn’t eliminate them.”
Fortunately, Apple has since addressed the bug of all bugs, the corporate recently announced.
