Deep learning model can steal data by listening to keystrokes with 95% accuracy

A team of UK researchers has trained a deep learning model to interpret keystrokes remotely based solely on audio. By recording keystrokes to train the model, they were able to predict what was typed on the keyboard with up to 95% accuracy. This accuracy dropped to 93% when using Zoom to train the system. According to the new research, this means that sensitive information like passwords and messages could be interpreted by anyone within hearshot of someone typing away on …
