Hackers can use a "dumb light bulb" to spy on conversations

<p>Cybersecurity researchers of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have developed a hacking technique called &#39;Lamphone Attack&#39; which can be used to take control of a &quot; dumb light bulb&quot; to listen to the conversation happening around. The attack uses a remote electro-optical sensor to analyse a light bulb&rsquo;s frequency response to sound, which can be easily recovered as human voice by the Google Cloud Speech API.<br /> &nbsp;</p>
