Beware – any light bulb in a room that is visible from the window can be utilized for spying on your conversations from afar. The discovery comes from a team of researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. The team has found that the patterns of vibrations in a light bulb can allow us to recover full conversations from a distance of hundreds of feet away. How is that possible, you ask? It is possible because a hanging light bulb not only acts as a diaphragm but also a transducer. This makes it a viable gadget for any intruders who might want to eavesdrop on your conversation.

The good thing that came from all of this is that Apple has already taken care of the issue on its server-end and only after this was carried out did Bhavuk Jain – the genius ...
