The Sensors Are Listening - Ep 175
Description
Your devices may be giving away more than you think. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, security expert Tyler Moffitt explores the hidden world of side-channel attacks — where everyday sensors reveal information you never intended to share.
From Android apps that can infer your two-factor codes without screenshots, to gaming mice that “hear” speech through micro-vibrations, to Wi-Fi routers that detect motion inside your home, Tyler breaks down the cutting-edge research that blurs the line between science fiction and reality.
He unpacks how these attacks work, what’s real versus proof-of-concept, and—most importantly—how to stay secure. Expect practical takeaways about permissions, firmware updates, passkeys, and a healthy dose of cybersecurity paranoia.
Key Topics:
- How Android’s display timing leaks on-screen secrets
- Why gaming mice might act like tiny microphones
- The evolution of Wi-Fi motion sensing from hacker demos to home features
- Practical privacy steps for everyday users
Bottom Line:
If it hums, blinks, or vibrates—it could be talking.
