Security researchers have discovered that data transmitted through modems and routers can be remotely reconstructed from the equipments LED status indicators. According to experiments, their light-to-information retrieval method is successful even when the light is captured at a considerable distance from the source. If you want to prevent people from spying on your data, you may want to tape up those blinking LEDs!
