Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: analyzing their SSD activity

While each file system is sandboxed, meaning it’s isolated from other websites and from the device system itself, the JavaScript can measure the I/O interactions. Then, by running those interactions through a pretrained convolutional neural network—a system that uses deep learning to analyze text, audio, and images—the attacker can deduce various apps and websites open… Read More: Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: analyzing… »

AI researchers claim 93% accuracy in detecting keystrokes over Zoom audio

Enlarge / Some people hate to hear other people’s keyboards on video calls, but AI-backed side channel attackers? They say crank that gain. Getty Images reader comments 62 with By recording keystrokes and training a deep learning model, three researchers claim to have achieved upwards of 90 percent accuracy in interpreting remote keystrokes, based on… Read More: AI researchers claim 93% accuracy in detecting keystrokes over Zoom… »

Hackers can clone Google Titan 2FA keys using a side channel in NXP chips

reader comments 45 with 37 posters participating Share this story There’s wide consensus among security experts that physical two-factor authentication keys provide the most effective protection against account takeovers. Research published today doesn’t change that, but it does show how malicious attackers with physical possession of a Google Titan key can clone it. There are… Read More: Hackers can clone Google Titan 2FA keys using a side… »
