🚨 $1.5M in Oculus headsets stolen!

A daring heist saw thieves swipe a truck loaded with Meta’s VR gear—part of a spree targeting big tech shipments.

This highlights a serious security vulnerability in supply chains. XR tech isn’t just a target for hackers but also organized crime.

Hi @luisbravomartins.bsky.social

I’m not able to send you a DM, but I would love to get involved with XRSI. How can I contact you?

10/ What are your biggest concerns or insights when it comes to XR security? Drop your thoughts below—I’d love to start a conversation and learn from this amazing community. 🤝

9/ At @securereality.bsky.social, we’re passionate about driving secure innovation in XR. We need collaboration across industries to build secure, immersive experiences that users can trust. 🛡️ If you’re working on XR security, let’s connect! #XR

8/ For developers, designers, and engineers in XR, it’s time to start asking the hard questions. Is your app resilient to manipulation? How is data stored and transmitted? Are users aware of the risks? We need to push for secure-by-design XR. #infosec

7/ Securing XR Starts Now: We need standards for XR security, threat models, penetration testing methodologies, and a security-first mindset for devs. Waiting isn’t an option; the tech is moving too fast. 🔐

6/ Social Engineering in the Virtual Realm: Social spaces in VR/AR (think metaverse environments) bring unique risks. Identity spoofing, impersonation, and social attacks in digital spaces can cause real-world harm. #XRsecurity

5/ Data Harvesting & Privacy Leaks: XR systems gather sensitive user data—movements, biometrics, even gaze patterns. A breach means exposing deeply personal data to the world, opening users up to new dimensions of threats.

4/ VR Environment Hijacking: In VR spaces, where users rely on immersion, threats can escalate. Attacks might induce disorientation, confusion, or emotional trauma—especially in scenarios like training simulations or virtual therapy.

3/ Manipulated AR Overlays: Picture an AR app overlaying helpful info in real time. Now imagine a hacker altering that data—wrong directions, false alerts, or hidden objects. It’s not just annoying; it could be dangerous.

2/ XR (Extended Reality) combines AR, VR, and MR to create immersive experiences. But immersion comes with risks. When your reality can be digitally altered, malicious actors have a new playground. Let’s dive into some of the biggest threats. 🔍

1/ The future of XR is limitless, but so are the security risks. Imagine hackers manipulating your AR overlays or VR environments—it’s not sci-fi, it’s a real threat. Here’s why XR security should be on every dev’s radar (and what we can do about it):

Hi Nels, can I be added? I’m a security researcher working on XR apps

My 1st post here. I'm testing the engagement and would like to connect with #XR peeps! If you're interested in #VR #AR #MR #gaming #esports or other #immersive #tech, please give me a follow and I'll follow back! 🥰

Hey all,

I’ll be posting about cybersecurity of XR apps. How to break them & secure them.

Looking forward to learning from you all!

How can I help?

Genuinely curious - why has quest 3 been the greatest investment?

Twitter has become too much of a hellscape so I’m trying Bluesky again.
