side-channel attacks

We look at an unusual eavesdropping method that leverages the fundamental physical properties of electronic components.

Japanese researchers have again tackled a classic high-tech espionage challenge: accurately identifying keystrokes based purely on how they sound.

Austrian researchers have uncovered a bizarre new way hackers could steal sensitive data.

Researchers have established that fiber-optic cables can be exploited for eavesdropping. We’re breaking down how feasible such an attack is in a real-world scenario.

The optical sensors in computer mice can be used for eavesdropping. We break down why this is fascinating — but still a long way from real-world practicality.

A fresh research paper shows how complex vulnerabilities in CPUs can be leveraged in the most pertinent attacks on cloud-based systems.
