The Citizen Lab at DEF CON 32

An announcement for a DEF CON 32 talk on August 11 highlights research by Jeffrey Knockel and Mona Wang showing that popular Chinese IME keyboards—Sogou, Baidu, and iFlytek—can effectively function as keyloggers by transmitting keystrokes over the internet, enabling network eavesdroppers to read users’ input. The session details the privacy risk to hundreds of millions of users and provides event logistics and speaker information.
