American Scofflaw
Actually the computer criminals are just copying what the FBI has already been doing for years. Not only the keyboard, but especially the monitors put out radio noise which can be picked up at a distance and used to reconstruct what you are seeing on the display.
Of course, real criminals and terrorists know to Tempest Vault their systems, so this is just another way for the government to spy on ordinary citizens, to keep us from getting "uppity."
Computer criminals could soon be eavesdropping on what you type by analysing the electromagnetic signals produced by every key press.
By analysing the signals produced by keystrokes, Swiss researchers have reproduced what a target typed.
The security researchers have developed four attacks that work on a wide variety of computer keyboards.
The results led the researchers to declare keyboards were "not safe to transmit sensitive information".
