Sound of Interference: Remote Eavesdropping Attack on Digital Microphones
June 5, 2025Researchers from the Warren B. Nelms Institute, led by Dr. Sara Rampazzi, and from the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo have discovered a new attack that exposes devices’ MEMs microphones to potential remote eavesdropping. This work demonstrates how audio captured by microphones on everyday wireless devices like laptops and bluetooth headsets can be intercepted. Using […]

Aquasonic: Multidisciplinary Research Reveals Acoustic Vulnerabilities in Underwater Data Centers
May 14, 2024Underwater data centers (UDCs) hold promise as next-generation data storage due to their energy efficiency and environmental sustainability benefits. While the natural cooling properties of water save power, the isolated aquatic environment and long-range sound propagation characteristics in water create unique vulnerabilities which differ from those of on-land data centers. In this new work called […]
