Visual Hacking Exposed

An eye-opening look at the need for visual privacy in the workplace—all over the world.


With screens capable of displaying private information virtually anywhere, visual privacy is an issue every organization must consider.

To see how easy it is to capture sensitive company information through visual hacking, 3M and the Visual Privacy Advisory Council worked with a third-party organization (The Ponemon Institute) to conduct an experiment in which an undercover white hat hacker was sent into several participating corporate offices.

In 2015, the Ponemon Institute completed this experiment in the U.S. and revealed how easy it was to become a victim of visual hacking. To determine if this was also an issue on a global scale, 3M sponsored an expanded experiment in 2016 to include offices in China, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

The worldwide results are alarming and serve as a good reminder of the importance of addressing visual privacy in organizations all over the world.
