Here's a worrying statistic for anyone with a microphone and a computer with a keyboard: An AI model was trained to recognise keystrokes and achieved a 95% accuracy.

Such an attack severely affects the target's data security, as it could leak people's passwords, discussions, messages, or other sensitive information to malicious third parties.

Will humans ever stop aiding the rise of the machines? Horrors!

Meanwhile, don't have camera or microphone on any of my systems for much the same reason... but that choice goes back near 20 years.

Yikes! It can be a potential threat. I think using strong passwords, encryption, and conducting security audits can help. Anomaly detection might also work.

How long til they catch up with people who have a wireless keyboard and type in their password one char at a time in various parts of their house.

Or maybe better, copy/paste.

I was told to leave a can of tuna on top of a plastic cover over the keyboard and let your Cat at it at least once per week.

Solves the issue 96+% of the time!

Wait till 007 and friends get a smell of this...
