Researchers at UC Irvine uncovered a vulnerability that enables some gaming mice with polling rates of 4,000 Hz or higher many of which are developed in the Bay Area to be turned into spyware, capturing conversations through desk vibrations using AI. As Tom's Hardware reports, security researchers from the University of California Irvine found a way to use high-end optical gaming mice containing advanced sensors that can sample data up to 8,000 times per second, per Hoodline, to record users' conversations via desk vibrations.
