🚨‼️ New security loophole allows spying on internet users visiting websites and watching videos ‼️🚨 The security loophole known as "SnailLoad" allows bypassing firewalls, VPN connections and browser privacy modes. No malicious code is required to exploit this vulnerability and the data traffic does not need to be intercepted. All types of end devices and internet connections are affected simply by monitoring fluctuations in the speed of the internet connection. ➡️ tugraz.at/en/tu-graz/service… ⬅️ The research team led by Stefan Gast and Daniel Gruss will present the scientific paper on the loophole at the conferences Black Hat USA 2024 and USENIX Security Symposium. #SnailLoad Image: The team from the Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications at TU Graz that discovered and analysed the security loophole (from left): Fabian Rauscher (@v4m1n), Jonas Juffinger, Stefan Gast (@notbobbytables), Simone Franza (@silent_bits), Daniel Gruss (@lavados), Roland Czerny (@_rolicz); IAIK - TU Graz
