Brain Hackers Pluck Your Private Data 

A team of researchers from the University of Oxford in Geneva and the University of California in Berkeley just showed how easy it is to hack a human brain and pluck things such as bank details from your head. They did so using an off-the-shelf Emotiv brain-computer interface that only cost a few hundred dollars.
Their experiments made it easier to calculate their address or bank account numbers.
