Google Glass wearers beware - Dutch computer experts claim they've worked out how to hack into the Glass device.
Employees from a Dutch IT company and accountancy office Deloitte in the Netherlands were able to infiltrate the device, giving them access to remotely see what the wearer is seeing.
Dutch newspaper The Volkskrant reports the hackers were able to gain control by sticking a USB containing a "script" in the glasses.
In another hacking scenario, malware is sent via wifi or an app on the phone that the Google Glass is connected to.
The hack allows them to view whatever the wearer is watching, as well as send the images to another computer.
According to the hackers breaking into the system was "too easy", so much so "hardcore hackers wouldn't even bother with it".
