Researchers were able to demonstrate the risk using “off-the-shelf’ phones and laptops.
Hackers could use artificial intelligence tools to steal user passwords with near-perfect accuracy by “listening” to an unsuspecting person’s keystrokes, according to alarming results of a study published earlier this month.
When the AI program was enabled on a nearby smartphone, it was able to reproduce the typed password with a whopping 95% accuracy,The hacker-friendly AI tool was also extremely accurate while “listening” to typing though the laptop’s microphone during a Zoom video conference.The researchers warned that many users are unaware of the risk that bad actors could monitor their typing to breach accounts – a type of cyberattack they called an “acoustic side channel attack.
To gauge accuracy, the researchers pressed 36 of the laptop’s keys a total of 25 times each, with each press “varying in pressure and finger.”The program was able to “listen” to identifying elements of each key press, such as sound wavelengths. The smartphone, an iPhone 13 mini, was placed 17 centimeters away from the keyboard.
