If you were a spy, what would be your go-to method of eavesdropping on conversations? A microphone is just too easy, so maybe you\u2019ll try something more high-tech, like a Glowworm Attack<\/a>. Discovered by researchers at Ben-Gurion University, the Glowworm Attack allows spies to capture audio by pointing a special camera at a speaker or USB hub\u2019s power indicator LED.<\/p>\n

Optical eavesdropping is a strange technique that\u2019s growing more viable thanks to AI, which can teach itself how to interpret data. But unlike most optical eavesdropping methods, which observe how objects vibrate<\/a> when they\u2019re impacted by sound waves, the Glowworm Attack translates the imperceptible flickering of a device\u2019s power indicator LED into real sound.<\/p>\n
