Your Smart Watch Can Steal Your ATM PIN - IEEE Spectrum

 

I'm safe - my watch isn't smart. A lot of people can't even tell the time on my Bradley watch - it has no hands and it isn't digital.

It's easily mitigated, wear the watch on your non-dominant hand...

Off Topic - that's a damn nice watch @unixman_again

who dosent? I tried wearing a watch on my right hand and it really feels strange I think ive always worn it on my left wrist. (though im umbidextrous (useless with either hand) I default to most stuff right handed but strangely other stuff left handed)

hmmm... I use 3 fingers when entering my pin, so my wrist doesn't really move... interesting theory though.

Same here, my hand doesn't really move, but still. The more information we allow to be collected or monitored, the more things have the potential for exploitation.

 

(And just to throw a spanner in the works, @Domino, I enter my pin with my non-dominant hand )
