Yeah, Snowden mentioned in his experience at NSA they did use tricks like this and this was late 2000's. There is an interview he gives where he goes under a blanket to type his password on a laptop to avoid the crt reader thingy.

Is there any source that it was the crt reading thing specifically? I remember that part of the documentary but I am still wondering if he had a specific attack in mind when he did that.

Van Eck phreaking works through walls. I haven't seen the interview but most likely he was just hiding the physical act of typing, since that too can leak information about a password.

Wouldnt that be audio or camera in room? I doubt a blanket would stop EMR from a crt.

Password prompts usually don't show the passwords you're typing in.

What would that have to do with a CRT?

Sorry, the attack works in laptop monitors not crt.
