You are dining outside in a restaurant and you receive an email.
Nobody can see what password you have typed, as your back is facing the wall.
Hence, you are not worried that someone could intercept your passcode.
However, sadly, there is.
Based on hand movement and the known geometry of the phone, we can see which keys are pressed.
This research was published by the Association for Computing Machinery last year.
Publishing such unauthorized technology through articles can surely tip hackers to think of new methods of cheating people.
So thats when Yahoo Finance decided its the right time to notify consumers of this new form of hacking.
Researchers shot four different videos for each volunteer.
None of the video recordings captured the phone screen or definitely showed what users were typing.
Use of more than one video for each phone raises the odds of success even further.
We can do it in about 30 minutes once we capture the video, says Phoha.
We have almost 100% accuracy.
