German Scientists Use Standard Wi-Fi Routers to Identify People via Radio Wave Reflections
By
Linnea Pejcha
Summary
Scientists in Germany have discovered that standard Wi-Fi routers can be used to identify humans with near-perfect accuracy by analyzing how radio waves reflect off our bodies. This technology works similarly to a camera, creating images based on Wi-Fi signal reflections. The discovery has significant implications for both cybersecurity and everyday life, potentially changing how identification and tracking are performed without the need for specialized equipment.
