Computer criminals could soon be looking at what people are typing by analysing the electomagnetic signals prodced by every key press.
The security researchers have invented four attacks that work on a wide variety of computer keyboards, the results led the researchers to declare keyboards were "not safe to transmit sensitive information".
The EPFL students tested 11 different keyboard models that connected to a computer via either a USB or a PS/2 socket. The attacks they developed also worked with keyboards embedded in laptops.
