Could an eavesdropper record the innocuous sounds your key makes as it turns in the lock, and reconstruct your key using 3D printing? 🔐 🔊The short answer: yes.

Not only have NUS Computing Assistant Prof Han Jun and Prof Chan Mun Choon discovered this stealthy attack, they have also found another security risk where vulnerabilities in cellular networks are exploited to figure out a person's physical location, as they stream music and movies on the go. 📲 🎧
