If you thought Facecrook was stealing your data:


"Researchers have determined that some light bulbs are suitable for covert data exfiltration from personal devices, and can leak multimedia preferences by recording their luminance patterns from afar.

For the light sources to become an attack surface, they need to meet some requirements such as support for multimedia visualizations and infrared capabilities.

The adversary does not need to attack the internal network of the victim to extract the information. They only need a direct connection between the target device and the lights, and line-of-sight with bulbs during the exfiltration process."


Yeah, whomever these "researchers" are it appears no data is safe in the F A T Orange Blunder's America. Of course I blame him. This is your fault, Trump.

Story here you conserve/lib/cuck tards:

"Extracting information from a personal device is possible under certain conditions. The simple observation of the light pattern is not sufficient in this case.

Light bulbs need to support infrared lighting and should not require authorization for controlling them over the local network. Moreover, the adversary needs to plant malware that encodes private data from the target device and sends it to the smart light bulbs."
