Google Glass is easily one of the most antipated gadget releases of 2014. Its Google's first shot at wearable tech and it makes 'smart watches' look outdated. A few lucky individuals have had an oppertunity to get ahold of a pair over the past year or so; I was luckily enough to get invited. There are hundreds of reviews on the web about all the different aspects of the google glass but I want to take a moment to focus on the security implications of the gadget.
On a daily basis, I deal with cyber security engineering, prevention, and protection. As I wear the glass, it raises quite a bit questions in regards to security.
Everyone today already takes millions of pictures on a daily basis with their smartphone, but its not easy to snap one of someone's face without them noticing. In a recent update, google added the ability to take a picture with a simple wink; next you can tweet that to the world by saying 'Ok Google, Share to Twitter.'
So say your not concerned someone taking your picture, but what about facial and voice recongition?

The webcam scare is over, but what about the glass?! Android is already a malware honeypot.
