Submission + - Wireless keyboard 'encryption' cracked (theregister.co.uk)

squidinkcalligraphy writes: "While everyone is going on about wireless network security, it seems few have considered that increasingly common wireless keyboards are vulnerable to eavesdropping. Particularly when the encryption is pitifully weak. A simple radio receiver, sound card, and a brute-force attack on the 8-bit encryption used is all that's needed. Passwords galore! Bluetooth, it seems, is safe for the moment."
