Security researchers have discovered a new way that hackers can steal sensitive information, like passwords. This involves eavesdropping on HDMI cables, a concerning development for computer users.
The technique, detailed in a recent study by researchers at Universidad de la República in Uruguay, uses artificial intelligence to decode electromagnetic emissions from HDMI connections and reconstruct what’s displayed on a computer screen.
The researchers found they could capture the electromagnetic radiation emitted by HDMI cables using readily available software-defined radio equipment. By applying deep learning algorithms to analyze these captured signals, they could reconstruct text and images from a computer display with up to 70% accuracy.
