An amazingly clever hack creates a vulnerability in ssh, an encrypted protocol for communicating over the Internet. You see, ssh encrypts and sends each keystroke randomly. By monitoring the time between keystrokes, an eavesdropper can use statistical analysis to make guesses at which keys you’re typing (based on how long it takes the average person to go from “a” to “b” on a QWERTY keyboard). Mind-boggling! Link Discuss (via Meerkat)
