IT technologies are improved with every minute and with it the level of protection of gadgets also increases. However, with a special desire in any system, you can find a loophole and take advantage of it. A few days ago, a team of scientists from the University of Michigan, together with researchers from the University of South Carolina, reported a new and effective way of hacking – the impact of a sound wave on an accelerometer.<\/p>\n

\nAs accelerometers are equipped with an incredible variety of devices, all of this can be controlled remotely with the help of an acoustic column costing only $ 5.<\/p>\n
\nAcoustic attacks are not really new. Nevertheless, this discovery does not lose its significance. During the study, the impact of sound waves, scientists were able to force the wheels of a toy car to spin, and were able to control the car using a special application on the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone.<\/p>\n
\nBut it is important to remember that this study is only a proof of concept that was used to highlight the security threats that popular consumer goods are exposed to.<\/p>\n
