Researchers in Uruguay have uncovered a way for hackers to use AI to snoop on what’s shown on your display by intercepting leaked electromagnetic radiation from the cable between your computer and monitor. They say such attacks are probably already happening, but home PC users don’t have much to worry about. The attacks can be done through multiple methods, including by using antennas placed outside a building to intercept signals from HDMI cables.
The spying is done by intercepting the electromagnetic radiation that leaks from your computer’s HDMI cable. Such snooping was much easier in the days of analog video signals, they say, because the digital transmission used for high-definition video is much more complex.
