A $2 Sticker Let Me Bypass The Meta Glasses' Anti-Creep Feature

Meta's new smart glasses, designed with privacy protections that should prevent surreptitious recording, can be defeated with nothing more than a two-dollar sticker, according to researchers who discovered the vulnerability this week. The exploit exposes a critical gap between the company's privacy promises and the physical reality of wearable surveillance technology, raising urgent questions about whether such devices can ever truly be secure against misuse. The finding arrives as Meta pushes aggressively into the augmented-reality market, betting billions on glasses that consumers are meant to trust around their most intimate moments.
