Security researcher Maryam Mehrnezhad of Newcastle University, UK

using orientation data and motion sensors on a mobile device's browser accessible
through JavaScript. This allows an attacker to infer touch actions on the device through
these sensors when orientation events are triggered in the browser, compromising user
privacy and including potentially revealing entered PIN code data along with other user
activities.");
