Listen to Your Key: Towards Acoustics-based Physical Key Inference

There is a certain point where you have to compromise and say the cost of a security breach will be less than the cost of devoting more resources to security.

I could spend hundreds of thousands on building my house with redundant locks, security cameras, steel-reinforced bullet proof doors and windows, OR I can sleep soundly knowing that if my house is robbed I can make an insurance claim and replace all my stuff. If someone wanted to actually steal my stuff or kill me, well they could just wait outside my house and do it then ️

Same with high tech, I could build the most secure system on the planet but a guy with a knife to my throat is gonna get all the security keys.

Conjuring up unnecessarily violent imagery makes readers with something to say less willing to step up and say it.

What I was going to say, is that with many people now working on company projects remotely, the potential financial damage isn't just loss of the resident's belongings.
