Hackers could now steal passwords over Zoom by listening to keystrokes using AI — and they'll be right 93% of the time, study says

• AI can steal passwords from keystroke sounds recorded over Zoom with up to 93% accuracy, per a new study.
• The accuracy rate ratcheted up to 95% when keystrokes were recorded using an iPhone 13 mini.
• "Passwords containing full words may be at greater risk of attack," per the study.

An AI tool could decipher text — including passwords — from keystroke sounds recorded over Zoom and be right over nine times out of ten, a group of researchers said in a paper published on August 3.
