If you use a wireless mouse or keyboard, you may be attacked by a hacker.
Researchers at the Bastille found in January 2016 that attackers could use a cheap $15 antenna to sneak into your computer with a wireless mouse or keyboard dongle (receiver).
For example, an attacker can enter your computer using a cheap antenna disguised as a wireless mouse.
From there, the intruder can switch signals to simulate the wireless keyboard and gain control over the machine.
Found that this technique works from 200 (
Sometimes even 225)
So even if the attacker can\'t see your screen, he or she can do anything using keyboard commands, from opening the site to downloading malware to your computer --
Even wipe your hard drive clean.
So far, Bastille is in Africa.
Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard radio receivers made by Amazon basics, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, Logitech and Microsoft.
Fortunately, you can take some action.
First, turn it off if you are not using a wireless device.
The antenna depends on the dongle being active and the dongle will not look for a signal if your device is off. (
You can also unplug it. )
Of course, it doesn\'t help much if you use the mouse or keyboard.
Unless you\'re using Logitech or Microsoft products, there\'s really nothing you can do at the moment.
