Can AI Really Steal Passwords with 100% Accuracy?
In the News
To say AI technology is dangerous is an understatement
Researchers have now found that it can be used to steal passwords by listening to the sound of people typing on their keyboards , pc and phones
It recognises each key pressed as they all have different sounds and can analyze these
Now they are advising using face recognision or fingerprint technology to get around this
But how long will it be before these methods are compromised ?

How do criminals access AI? As ever some criminal will come up with an innovative way to steal money and then online security programmers etc will come up with a solution its a ongoing battle. I guess it won't be long before we get nuisance phone calls and when we pick up the phone its going to be an AI computer trying to sell us double glazing or some other service. They will probably be relentless too as no emotional baggage so I can imagine the same AI phoning the same homes repeatedly. I can see AI being really hated in the future. Just imagine you've had money stolen from your bank with AI, you are out of job because of AI and then they keep phoning you all the time too. It doesn't matter how angry you get you won't effect them and no physical body to attack as AI will be in the cloud. I can just see psychiatrists lining up to offer AI councilling in the future, maybe that AI councilling will be efficiently done with a AI computer rather than a human being pyschiatrist?
BonzoBanana Its frightening what could happen B , heres an example how you can be monitored using the keyboard www.unilad.com/technology/news/iag-fwc-keystroke-technology-suzie-cheikho-work-from-home-252432-20230809
What about saved passwords,which I don't do for important stuff, one click and you're in. I expect they will find a way round that too in the future.
Probably the only way will be to change your password often to make it really difficult to crack. It would be an effort to do that though.
JLouM Its as with banks J , with cash you have control over your money when you withdraw it , it is up to you to keep it secure, when banks have your money it is their responsibility, and when we become a cashless society they will have total control and responsibility over it , except if you lose or have your card and/or details stolen , and cyber criminals will have a field day
The only good thing about a cashless society there will be no more blowing up of ATMs or physical bank robberies, just increased online theft
I think people can already do this, this would mean they would have to have put malware or spyware on your device though or be on the end of the phone when you are typing in your password, unless we are talking through home speakers too, but then don't have one. Otherwise they aren't to know what you are typing so can't listen in. I'd imagine facial recognition would be easier, considering many people have online videos of themselves or you can make AI videos of people.
Just wish people would stop trying to scam those working hard for their money and do something more worthy of their time and earn their own, instead of stealing from others especially the most vulnerable 
People just need to wake up, be aware of the surroundings. Always make sure your using a strong password, have third factor authentication on. Keep your pc upto date, have recently scan your pc for viruses, mailware
So why can't you just turn the sound off? Then they wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference, or am I missing the point 
Midnightflower Not being 100% technical i dont know whether the scammers can tell which keys you press by hearing them or by sensing the keys pressed M
Companies can monitor your use of the keyboard with software running in the background so possibly scammers can also do this with a virus installed , who knows , things advance so fast
telmel ahh I didn't know about sensors it's alot more advanced than I realised.
