I think this is the OP: https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.05267

Note the headline may confuse: the reference to 1 Km relates to the fiber run between the eavesdropping equipment and the target. It's only picking up sound in the same room, not 1 Km away.

Ok, let's change to that URL because the submitted URL is hardwalled: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2330763-fibre-optic-cab....

Thanks!

I just mean a paywall without workarounds (as the sibling comments have pointed out).

Paywalls with workarounds are ok on HN, paywalls with no workaround are not.

I assume a hardwall is not merely circumvented by css/js shenanigans.

I’d guess hard, as opposed to soft (dismissible/based on number of articles read), paywall.
