Fetufaai po o Sauni? O galaoi o lo'o i luga o lau laulau

E masani ona ou maua ni fesili e uiga i le mafuaaga ou te iai ai se fa'ailoga i luga o masini va'ava'a malamalama i la'u komepiuta feavea'i ma le telefoni. O nisi e manatu e le ou te iloa le eseesega i le va o se masini va'ava'a malamalama ma se kamera, ma taumafai e fa'amatala mai ia te a'u e le o se kamera lenei. What they don’t know is that ambient light sensors can be used with machine learning methods to extract data like they are weak cameras.

I generally hear from people: “But we have nothing to hide!” Well, you have more to hide than you think, and your data can be combined with other data collected from you elsewhere to produce intelligence at a level you can’t even imagine possible. And those who collect the data are not necessarily those with right intentions. Your data can be collected by different threat actors to be analyzed using AI and be used for different purposes and intentions.

In cybersecurity, we assume that if a type of attack is possible and there is an opportunity to perform an attack, then there might be motive to perform those attacks. Matou te le manatu o i latou e mafai ona aoina fa'amaumauga e i ai i taimi uma mafua'aga talafeagai e aoina ai na fa'amatalaga. Matou te le manatu foi na'o se tasi pati po'o se fa'alapotopotoga e fa'aaogaina se vaivaiga e aoina ai na fa'amatalaga.

Lalo o se lisi o isi mea e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e sipai ai oe atonu e te le iloa o lo'o i ai na gafatia.

E mafai e lau failauga TV ona fa'alogo ia te oe

O a'u o se tasi o i latou e masani ona filifilia se fa'ata'ita'iga TV e aunoa ma se masini faaleotele leo po'o se mea pu'eata ae ou te le'i mana'omia le ave'esea o na masini. O lo'o ia te a'u fo'i se firewall fale ma se feso'ota'iga saogalemu i totonu, ae ua ou a'oa'oina i le gasologa o tausaga e le gata e fa'alagolago i fa'atonutonu talafeagai. Ae ui i lea, fa'avae i luga o se WikiLeaks fa'asa'olotoina i 2017 ma pepa mai 2014, le CIA (i le galulue fa'atasi ma le MI5) liliu failauga i nisi o fa'ata'ita'iga TV i masini faaleotele leo e aoina ai fa'amatalaga. They even developed a fake off mode to show that the TV is off when they collect those conversations. If you think your TV might listen to your conversation, it is better to unplug it when not in use. It also saves you some energy because plugged devices even while not in use may consume some electricity.

Your tablet or laptop light sensor can capture your hand or your image

I always adjust screen light manually, and I believe I have a good reason for that.

The ambient light sensor is used to measure the amount of light and to adjust the brightness of the screen. Ambient light sensors can be used to capture images or keystrokes to steal passwords and data. A group of MIT researchers talu ai nei na faia ai se fa'amaoniga o le manatu e ala i le fa'aaogaina o lima o le Android tablet na pu'eina e le ambient light sensor e pu'eina ai fegalegaleaiga pa'i.

E mafai e lau isumu ona fa'alogo i lau talanoaga

O lenei e mataga! O se isumu e leai se masini faaleotele leo po'o se failauga e liliu i se masini faaleotele leo e fa'alogo ai i so'o se mea. Ae ui i lea, o lo'o i ai se osofa'iga i le itu e ta'ua o “Mic-E-Mouse” e mafai ai e se tagata osofa'i ona fa'alogo i au talanoaga e ala i lau isumu.

O se isumu ta'aloga maualuga (maualuga DPI) e mafai ona faoa faamalosi e lona sensor opitika, O lea pe a e tautala, E mafai ona fuaina le gatete o leo ma nei sensors. Fa'aaogaina o masini a'oa'oina algorithms ma fa'amaumauga mai isumu sensors, e mafai e tagata su'esu'e saogalemu ona iloa le tautala malamalama mai gatete.

O osofa'iga a le itu o se ituaiga o osofa'iga fa'aletino e fuaina ai suiga i le masini a'o faia e se masini se gaioiga. O lenei ituaiga o osofa'iga e masani lava ona sili atu ona faigata ma fa'atatau i nisi aseta e pei o ki fa'ailoga. Ae ui i lea, pe a fai o se osofa'iga metotia ua atia'e mo nisi ituaiga o masini, o le a le faigata tele ona fa'alauteleina i isi masini tutusa ma e o'o lava i le otometi.

Motion sensors (gyroscope) e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e pu'eina ai lou leo

O lenei ua matou a'oa'oina e mafai ona fa'aaogaina lau isumu e pu'eina ai lau talanoaga, e lelei le iloa e mafai foi ona fa'aaogaina gaioiga fa'aaogaina mo le fa'amoemoe lava e tasi. E taua lenei mea aua e toetoe lava o masini poto fa'aonapo nei uma e pei o telefoni ma tapeleti o lo'o i ai se gyroscope po'o se motion sensor. O le sensor e galue o se masini gatete, faia ai ona maeʻa lelei mo osofaʻiga itu-i-tasi ma le puʻeina o le leo, aʻo mafai e toniga leo ona gaosia ni vibrationals laiti.

Laugatasi o lau fa'apipi'i faigata (HDD) e mafai ona puʻeina le pisa e ave ai faʻamatalaga tumaʻoti

Ua tatou aʻoaʻoina nei e uiga i osofaʻiga itu-i-tasi, o lo'o iai se ituaiga o osofaʻiga e taʻua o DiskFiltration na atiaʻe e se vaega o tagata suʻesuʻe Israeli lea e mafai ona puʻeina faʻamatalaga tumaʻoti mai le leo o le faigaluega a se hard disk drive. O lenei ituaiga osofaʻiga e atamai ma taula'i i masini ma se va'a ea. Fa'aaogā masini ma va'a ea, e le o fesoʻotaʻi se masini i soʻo se upega tafaʻilagi e pei o le initaneti ma masani ona tausia i nofoaga tumaʻoti. E le o le mea e puipuia ai masini ma va'a ea i osofaʻiga i luga o le initaneti. O se faataʻitaʻiga masani o nei osofaʻiga o Stuxnet lea na taulaʻi i faiga niuklea i Initia e le o fesoʻotaʻi i le initaneti.

I lenei ituaiga o osofaʻiga, e faʻaoso e se tagata osofaʻi le masini i le malware lea e suia ai le auala e galue ai le masini. E mafai ona faʻasolosolo mai le malware i le faiga e se tagata osofaʻi po o isi auala. O le masini e taofia i le ea, o lea e le mafai e le malware ona lafoina se mea i fafo. Ae ui i lea, e mafua ai le masini ona galue i se auala faapitoa ina ia feoaʻi le lima o le ave uila i ni faʻataʻitaʻiga faapitoa. E mafai ona faʻaaogaina se telefoni poto po o se masini lata ane e le taofi i le ea e puʻe le leo o le hard disk drive e toe fesuiaʻi i faʻamaumauga aʻo tusia po o faitau i luga o le disk, lea e mafai ona faʻateʻenaʻi le taofi i le ea.

E mafai ona maua i lalo faʻamaumauga o lau komipiuta fan

E i ai lau SSD i lau faiga ma e le faʻaaogaina se HDD taugofie ma le pisa. O lea afai o lau masini e taofia i le ea, o lea e le mafai ona aveʻese faʻamaumauga tumaoti. Well! Another group of Israeli researchers invented a method for you. Although your SSD doesn’t have an arm to rotate to make noise like with an HDD, your computer fan can be used to capture sound to compromise sensitive data from your air gapped computer. I lenei ituaiga o osofaʻiga, malware first infects the air gapped system (perhaps by an intruder to a secured facility), then the speed of the cooling fan will be changed in certain patterns. The sound can transmit the data to a nearby listening device.

WiFi signals can see through your walls

WiFi signals bounce off humans in a room. Researchers can see through walls to know how many people are in the room and identify individuals by movement and posture without needing any camera.
