Your devices may be giving away more than you think. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber,  security expert Tyler Moffitt explores the hidden world of side-channel attacks — where everyday sensors reveal information you never intended to share.From Android apps that can infer your two-factor codes without screenshots, to gaming mice that “hear” speech through micro-vibrations, to Wi-Fi routers that detect motion inside your home, Tyler breaks down the cutting-edge research that blurs the line between science fiction and reality.He unpacks how these attacks work, what’s real versus proof-of-concept, and—most importantly—how to stay secure. Expect practical takeaways about permissions, firmware updates, passkeys, and a healthy dose of cybersecurity paranoia.Key Topics:How Android’s display timing leaks on-screen secretsWhy gaming mice might act like tiny microphonesThe evolution of Wi-Fi motion sensing from hacker demos to home featuresPractical privacy steps for everyday usersBottom Line:If it hums, blinks, or vibrates—it could be talking.Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via [email protected] As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcast and Best 70 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts rankings.
