Year after year, scientists and enthusiasts create new ways to hack into our devices.It concerns the following:
For example, Chinese researchers have shownits new development - a technology called GhostTouch and capable of non-contact control of the touch screen and infiltrate the mobile device in secret from its owner.
It was possible to achieve this effect with the help of electromagnetic interference in a special spectrum that the device emits. They, in turn, can "touch" the screen without any actual physical interaction.
As a result, depending on the frequency and power of the waves, a touch or a swipe is simulated. It is reported that using GhostTouch you can control the device at a distance of up to 40 mm.
Scientists separately noted that the method they discovered allows you to unlock the phone, as well as connect it to the “desired” Wi-Fi network, and then secretly download malicious code to your smartphone.
