Sound like a creepy sci-fi movie?
Your phone number and home address are visible to strangers as you walk by on the street.
It's actually Meta's new Camera Glasses with AI facial recognition. These new glasses appear to be regular sunglasses, but... under the surface, they record video, and allow that to be hooked up to AI. [1]
A few Harvard students, with practically no budget, hooked this data up to a people finder database. This was used to instantly doxx people walking around the campus in real time. Further, using People Finder databases, it can display to the person wearing the glasses, someone's home address and phone number, as they walk by in public. [2]
Once again, I encourage our readers to consider VoIP, keep the number out of databases, and trying to minimize what real information is public. You have to assume it will be abused.
