Overview

• Researchers have developed AI models that can identify keystrokes by analyzing audio recordings with over 90% accuracy.
• The models can discern keystrokes from recordings made via computer microphones, smartphones, or apps like Zoom.
• Experts warn these "acoustic attacks" could allow hackers to steal passwords, data, and other sensitive information.
• Possible defenses include randomized passwords, adding fake keystrokes, changing typing habits, and relying on biometric authentication.
• The research highlights growing concerns over audio recording capabilities of devices and the privacy risks of AI.
