Recent research has highlighted a significant cybersecurity threat to Meta's Quest VR headsets, revealing that they are susceptible to 'Inception-style' attacks. These attacks can deceive users by trapping them in a fake virtual reality (VR) environment, making it difficult for them to discern the real from the simulated. Despite warnings from top researchers about the potential for VR technology to cause nausea, particularly in females, it appears Meta has not conducted serious research into this issue. The vulnerability underscores the growing concerns around the safety and security of virtual reality technologies.

Journalists are amazing at writing polysemantic headlines with one reading that’s sensational but false, and another that’s boring but true. Upon first reading, you might think the hack makes you believe you’ve taken the headset off when you’re actually still trapped in it. https://t.co/mv9EW58O5d
