Inception Attacks: Immersive Hijacking in Virtual Reality Systems

arXiv:2403.05721v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Recent advances in virtual reality (VR) system provide fully immersive interactions that connect users with online resources, applications, and each other. Yet these immersive interfaces can make it easier for users to fall prey to a new type of security attacks. We introduce the inception attack, where an attacker controls and manipulates a user's interaction with their VR environment and applications, by trapping them inside a malicious VR application that masquerades as the full VR …
