You have to be within 16ft of the device. That’s a pretty dang close range. This is pretty click baity.
I guess all the people living in apartment complexes, duplexes, townhouses, condos, etc can just go fuck themselves.
Actual Paper, images on page 10 On the top of Page 10 are example shots, ground truth is original image, sota means the captured feed, EM Eye is the feed with their post-processing (aka “Enhance”). The lengths on top are how long the cable you are snooping on is (ie a cell phone’s cable is only gonna be a few cm, a laptop is probably at the 15cm mark), and how far away you are (Those last pics at 300cm(3m) would be under 10ft). It is definitely impressive but this is up there with stealing passwords from keyboard clicks, you usually have somewhat of an advanced threat in mind to think someone might use this against you.
Just don’t buy it from amazon.
Does the same apply to microphones, like in headsets and smartphones? I heared a password typed into a keyboard can be reconstructed by just the sound of the keypresses? … oh no …
