A New Attack Reveals Everything You Type With 95 Percent Accuracy


Of course, generative AI tools are the talk of the security industry this year. And Microsoft is no exception. In fact, since 2018, the company has had an AI red team that attacks AI tools to find vulnerabilities and help prevent them from behaving badly.

Outside of Black Hat and Defcon coverage, we detailed the ins and outs of the data privacy that HIPPA provides people in the US, and explained how to use Google’s new “Results About You” tool to get your personal information removed from search results.

But that’s not all. Each week, we round up the security news that we didn’t cover in depth ourselves. Click on the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.

Your keyboard may be exposing your secrets without you even knowing it. Researchers in the UK developed a deep-learning algorithm that can figure out what a person is typing just by listening to keystrokes. In a best-case scenario (for an attacker, that is), the algorithm is 95 percent accurate. The researchers even tested it over Zoom and found it performed with 93 percent accuracy.

Now, if you’re thinking the researchers tested the attack on the noisiest mechanical keyboard they could find, you’d be wrong. They performed their tests on a MacBook Pro. And the attack doesn’t even require fancy recording equipment—a phone’s microphone works just fine. Someone who successfully carries out the attack could use it to learn a target’s passwords or snoop on their conversations. These kinds of acoustic attacks aren’t new, but this research shows they’re getting frighteningly accurate and easier to pull off in the wild.

A series of data breaches rocked the United Kingdom this week. On August 8, the Electoral Commission, the independent body responsible for overseeing elections and regulating political finances, revealed a cyberattack had exposed the data of 40 million voters to hackers. The organization has been unable to determine whether data was taken; however, it says that full names, emails, phone numbers, home addresses, and data provided during contact with the body could be impacted. “The attack has not had an impact on the electoral process,” the commission said. (Elections are run…

Inside the mind of a cybercriminal: do digital law breakers have a personality type?


Antisocial, loner, computer addicted — malicious hackers have long been labeled with these stereotypes by the public. While movies and popular culture may paint a simple, unflattering portrait of the average cybercriminal, a scientific approach to the question found a more nuanced and complex picture, with many actors exhibiting skills and traits that would be considered positive or even admirable in other contexts.

A recent study led by Marleen Weulen Kranenbarg, assistant professor of criminology at Vrije University in Amsterdam, sheds new light on the specific personal characteristics of digital offenders by comparing a sample of 261 cybercrime suspects with that of offline offenders. The study found that cyber offenders have a higher level of diligence, conscientiousness, and self-regulation but scored low on modesty, fearfulness, flexibility, and aesthetic appreciation.

Studying the specific mindsets and psychological proclivities of cybercriminals may be worth the effort in part because, as the study notes, online crime continues to steadily rise as other forms of offline crime become less and less frequent. Further, online crime differs from offline crime in important ways that may shape the behavior of both cybercriminals and their victims.

“Cyberspace is a unique context in which interactions have a different nature than in the offline world. For example, offenders and victims do not need to have physical contact in cyberspace, which may lower the threshold for committing cybercrimes,” the study notes. “Additionally, cyberspace may require specific skills or characteristics that offline crimes do not. This begs the question whether decades of consolidated knowledge about offender characteristics still apply to this comparatively novel category of offenders.”

For example, studies of criminals in the physical space show that many tend to focus on short-term rewards, have lower levels of education, exhibit poor self-regulation and have higher rates of alcohol and drug use. What little research there has been on cybercriminals tend to show that these individuals are better at self-regulating their behavior, are more diligent and less willing to experiment with drugs…
