Researchers at Graz University of Technology could spy on users’ online activities simply by monitoring fluctuations in the speed of their internet connection. This vulnerability, known as SnailLoad, does not require malicious code to exploit, and the data traffic does not need to be intercepted. All types of end devices and internet connections are affected.[1]
SnailLoad attack setup:
- The victim communicates with a server.
- The server has a fast Internet connection, and the victim’s last-mile
