New research coming out of the University of Glasgow has revealed that hackers could use body heat to crack your passwords.
While the risk of a "thermal attack" is slim, researchers have warned that it is getting cheaper and easier to access thermal imaging cameras. Using these cameras, alongside an A.I. algorithm, the Glasgow researchers found ways to uncover passwords based on the keys that participants typed into a keyboard.
The concerning tech was able to accurately guess passwords for up to a minute after they were typed into the keyboard. Speaking on the research, Dr Khamis, of the University of Glasgow’s School of Computing Science, said: “They say you need to think like a thief to catch a thief.
