Two researchers from Augusta University, in Georgia, U.S., demonstrated a novel way to steal people's passwords that would put even James Bond to shame.
Alireza Taheritajar and Reza Rahaeimehr published a paper called 'Acoustic Side Channel Attack on Keyboards Based on Typing Patterns' which is just as weird as it sounds.
According to the research, there is a way to deduce a person's password (or any other word that's typed into a computer) by simply listening to them type.
