I don't think this is new, but I just saw an article about it again, so figured I'd post.

https://gizmodo.com/researchers-issue-warning-about-tech-that-could-turn-every-router-into-a-potential-means-for-surveillance-2000763181

From the article:

"In a study, the researchers describe using beamforming feedback information (BFI) and machine learning models to identify people walking within a network’s range. The team found that this BFI-based technique was able to infer a person’s identity with 99.5% accuracy."

"...this feedback is unencrypted and can be accessed without the need of specialized hardware or even a direct connection to the WiFi network."

When home WiFi started to become popular I couldn't wait to get rid of the cables. But everything old becomes new again and here I am running cables to any room that needs access.

#ScamAwareness pro-tip:

You don't win contests you didn't actually enter.

All these spam emails I've been getting lately that say I'm a winner must mean a bunch of other people are getting them too.

No, you didn't win a Yeti cooler from Lowes. Nobody is winning one because it's a scam.
