This turns your phones and computers into acoustic weapons

A flaw has been found in smartphones, which turns it into a dangerous weapon. The "BBC" website, cyber security expert Mitt Wixi, believes that a number of devices – smart phones, laptops, headsets and speakers – are poorly protected from hacking.

Hackers can force these tools to produce dangerous high or low frequency sounds for humans. Wexi tested his theory via Bluetooth scanner software, controlling the speakers of some devices and making them annoying sounds.

Previously, recommendations had been issued for users of these tools for security reasons, it is best to close the camera and the microphone with a piece of tape. In this case, even if the hacker has contacted the gadget, he will not be able to see or hear anything. But this procedure alone will not suffice, digital hygiene should also be followed.
