The article discusses a new method of acoustic attack that can steal data entered via keyboards with an impressive 95% accuracy. Researchers from the University of California discovered that the sounds generated by keystrokes can be analyzed using algorithms that effectively identify the input characters. This technique utilizes microphones in smartphones and other devices to capture these sounds from a distance, making the attack hard to detect. In experiments, they managed to achieve a 95% accuracy rate, which surprised the authors of the study and indicates a serious threat to user privacy. It is imperative for users to be aware of these risks and take appropriate precautions, such as using security software or changing their input methods.
