No details about what specific study they are referring to. These attacks are possible for several years now. 2016 - "Don't Skype & Type!

The dots are just there for shoulder surfing and to give a visual feedback to the user. If you want to steal a password, all the cool kids use a microphone or your phone's accelerometers. https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.09359 https://www.cise.ufl.edu/~traynor/papers/marq-ccs11.pdf https://phys.org/news/2017-04-criminals-pin-tracking-motion....

I don't think the techniques and technology have become quite refined enough for this to be widely deployed, at most people are simply experimenting with the idea. But people are taking this seriously because it represents quite an attack vector once things fall into place. The thing is we won't know when we've reached that threshold until the first news stories about a widespread phishing scam using the technique emerge. It seems VoIP will be the first low-hanging fruit: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.09359.pdf

Your data will leak regardless because of typewriter keystroke acoustics [0]. So you better have a soundproof room for that purpose. Keep any electronics out of the room that might have a microphone. Like phones, laptops, or running mechanical hard drives [1]. [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.09359 [1]: https://spqr.eecs.umich.edu/papers/Kwong-HDDphone-IEEE-SP-20...

Keystroke timing analysis has some solid research. See, e.g., Timing Analysis of Keystrokes and Timing Attacks on SSH (https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~daw/papers/ssh-use01.pdf), Don’t Skype & Type! Acoustic Eavesdropping in Voice-Over-IP (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.09359.pdf). Deciphering content from latencies in packetized speech is likely much more difficult, but I wouldn't put much stock in it being too difficult. Which is to say, if you're transferring high-value information assets over VoIP you should probably assume it's decipherable. That doesn't mean you should change what you're…
