Security researchers found that poor shielding on some keyboard cables means useful data can be leaked about each character typed. By analysing the information leaking onto power circuits, the researchers could see what a target was typing. The attack has been demonstrated to work at a distance of up to 15m, but refinement may mean it could work over much longer distances. finish the rest of the article below to be in compliance with GLPs copyright 50% posting rule with link to source [ link to news.bbc.co.uk] Last Edited by Phennommennonn on 01/17/2014 01:12 AM. .

It's more useful when we receive a feed of someone else's monitor from up to 100ft away, which is entirely possible as well. |
