Wearable cheating [bbc.com] involving at least three students with glasses-mounted cameras and smartwatches has forced thousands of students to retake university entrance exams in Thailand:

Some 3,000 students in Thailand must retake university entrance exams after a cheating scam involving cameras and smartwatches was uncovered. The sophisticated scam happened at Rangsit University in Bangkok. The university says three people filmed their test papers using tiny cameras embedded in their glasses. They then transmitted the images to an outside team, who sent the correct answers to the smartwatches of three other students taking the exams. One admitted he was being charged $24,000 (£17,000) to receive the right answers to get into medical school.
