Sumario:The article reports that researchers have created four computer attacks which can detect what a person is typing on a keyboard. The program analyzes the signals that are produced when an individual strikes the keys on a keyboard. Other topics include keyboards which are not safe to transmit sensitive information, keyboards connected to keyboards via a PS/2 or USB slot which were vulnerable to at least one of the aforementioned attacks, and spotting electromagnetic radiation that is emitted when keys were pressed.
