Broadcasters could potentially face risks following a study’s findings, which indicate that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can predict passwords by analyzing the sounds produced when specific keys are struck.
Regardless of whether a streamer has a small audience or a massive one, there’s always a chance they might unintentionally reveal confidential information during their live stream.
As a precautionary measure, I strongly advise against casually displaying sensitive data like passwords and bank details during live streams, given recent findings from a study suggesting such actions could potentially put your information at risk of being intercepted by unscrupulous individuals.
As a gamer myself, I recently found out that clever AI systems can actually predict my passwords by analyzing the sounds of the keys I’m typing. Crazy, right? It’s like they’re reading my mind!
AI can guess passwords based on sound
Based on recent studies presented at the IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy Workshops, malicious users may exploit AI capabilities for misuse in platforms such as Zoom during video conferences, or while streaming content on Twitch.
The research indicates that scientists tapped 36 keys, which included all letters and numbers, rapidly 25 times each, using various fingers and applying varying force, on a MacBook Pro. The resulting sounds were captured during a Zoom call as well as on a mobile phone positioned nearby the keyboard.
Researchers subsequently input the audio recordings into an artificial intelligence system, enabling it to learn and identify the distinct sounds produced by each key press on a computer. The specific model they employed remains undisclosed.
The research found that the system accurately matched sounds to their corresponding keys approximately 95% of the time during phone calls, while still achieving an impressive accuracy rate of about 93% during video calls on Zoom.
There are various strategies to bypass AI detection, such as capitalizing words by pressing the shift key, employing biometric security measures like a MacBook’s fingerprint scanner, or implementing two-step authentication processes.
In the past few weeks, there’s been widespread attention given to a research finding, which revealed that among all text messages, one simple letter could evoke the strongest emotional response.
