Apple Working On Direct Satellite Link For iPhones
|
|
Apple is working on satellite technology, apparently hiring aerospace engineers to establish a new team with satellite and antenna designers,
according to a report from Bloomberg.
The report stresses that this is a secret project that could eventually be scrapped.
The goal of the team and its work is to create communications satellite technology that can send and receive data directly to the iPhone, in an attempt to allow Apple devices to connect without the need of a third-party cellular network.

Researchers Use Lasers to Hack Smart Speakers
|
|
University researchers have discovered a way to give unauthorized commands to voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, Facebook Portal, and Siri by using laser beams.
You read that correctly – apparently the microphones for most of these devices react to laser light as well as sound.
Researchers were able to transmit vocal commands via laser beams to hack into the smart speakers.
“By modulating an electrical signal in the intensity of a light beam, attackers can trick microphones into producing electrical signals as if they are receiving genuine audio,” explain the researchers at Light Commands, a website dedicated to the project.
The results have interesting implications for digital security in the home tech industry.
