Vulnerability Note VU#981271 Multiple Wireless Devices Keyboard/Mouse Unsafe

You are here

It has been noted that wireless devices like keyboards and mouse aren't safe. They use a proprietary wireless protocol on the 2.4 GHz ISM band that lacks proper encryption. An attacker within wireless transmission range can inject keystrokes or read keystroke data, or cause the victim's device to pair with a new input device. Wireless range on these models varies but is typically a few meters within a home.
