Unlikely to happen you you, but fascinating research for us security nerds…:
- Researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have figured out a way to steal information from an isolated computer not connected to the internet.
- By taking advantage of small changes in color and brightness on LCD monitors, bad actors could use cameras to “see through” the ordinary screen’s content, revealing vulnerable data.
- Although this kind of attack would be complicated to pull off, it’s an example of ways that researchers are trying to stay one step ahead of the hackers.
