Attackers Can Use Electromagnetic Signals to Control Touch Screens Remotely

Researchers have demonstrated what they call the "active contactless attack against capacitive touchscreens." GhostTouch, as it's called, "uses electromagnetic interference (EMI) to inject fake touch points into a touchscreen without the need to physically touch it," a group of academics from Zhejiang University and Technical University of Darmstadt said in a new research paper. The core idea is
