NEW HACKING TECHNIQUE
HACKER CAN FIGURE OUT PASSWORD JUST FROM THE SOUND OF TYPING
Hackers figure out a new way to hack the password by just listening to the typing on a keyboard.
Hacker use microphone of the users mobile phone to listen to the typing of the user.
This method is so effective that it can be carried out in a noisy place where multiple people are typing. It was found by the researcher at Southern Methodist University in Texas.
This technique is discovered by analyzing the different sound waves produced when a key on a keyboard is stuck.
After processing the acoustic signals, they were able to decode which keys were struck and in which order. with this, a hacker can not only get the password but also the private messages.
This is usually to facilitate certain functions of the app, however, it is conceivable that hackers could either create malicious apps for the purpose of spying or hack existing apps in order to secretly hijack a phone’s microphone.
The researchers warned that the victim would have no idea that they are being hacked, however, there are certain caveats to the method.
