In this paper, we present the need for security, privacy, and trust in the ‘Metaverse of Things’. We envision the context ‘Metaverse of Things’, where everything and anything within the Metaverse (e.g., users, applications, services, systems, technologies, platforms, etc.) can be interconnected and integrated by multiple emerging technologies, e.g., 6G networks and beyond, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, digital twins, and blockchain to enable the humanlike intelligence of virtual agents. We show how the various technical, non-technical, and social issues can cause potential security, privacy, and trust concerns in the ‘Metaverse of Things’.
