Hi Techies,

 

I just read a article about how easy it is to snoop data out of a wireless keyboard,

(https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/07/hackers-can-spy-on-wireless-keyboards-from-hundreds-of-feet-away/492962/)

 

so hackers can get everything from, what you search for and even your credit card and cvv when you type it..

So is there any wireless keyboard that are secure or patched??

From the article:

 

"The keyboards vulnerable to KeySniffer are all low-end, inexpensive models. A list of them is available here—but there could easily be more out there that haven’t been tested yet. Keyboards that connect via Bluetooth, a widely used technology for communicating wirelessly with nearby devices, can’t be hacked with the KeySniffer method, because Bluetooth encrypts data streams in a much more secure way. Wired keyboards are safe, too, because they don’t broadcast a signal at all."

 

so, buy any bluetooth keyboard or keyboard from a reputable brand and you'll be fine.
