Keyboard sniffers to steal data by analysing signals
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Swiss researchers have discovered by analysing the signals produced by keystrokes they can determine what a user is typing.
The researchers developed several attacks that work on a wide variety of computer keyboards.
Many keyboards have not been branded as “not safe to transmit sensitive information”.
The attacks were dreamed up by doctoral students Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini fromSwitzerland.
The amount of threats on the internet seems to be constantly on the increase and it does worry me somewhat that it will spiral out of control.
