Sounds from typing could be security risk

Read this story this morning from today's 24 hours newspaper while I was on the train to work. Quite interesting...

Sounds from typeing on computer keyboards are distinctive enough to be decoded, allowing security breaches caused by “acoustic snooping.” University of California, Berkeley researchers said Wednesday.

The researchers said they were able to feed sound recordings of typing on keyboards into a computer and use an algorithm to recover up to 96 percent of the keyboard characters entered by typists.

Sigh, security risk everywhere!!

[Prose from the Pros] There are many sites where website templates are available free to download. Those who do not know web design basics they just simple download them. However flash templates are most interactive websites. If you want to do online business you can outsource your web design contract. Even you can find cv template for personal use.
