We continue to acquaint our subscribers with methods of electronic surveillance.

1. Smart Speakers and Voice Assistants

· Background Listening: The device constantly analyzes sound in the room waiting for a wake word ("Okay, Google," "Hey, Siri"). Cases have been proven where accidentally activated recordings were transmitted to developers for analysis.
· Acoustic Triangulation: If there are several smart devices in a room, it's possible to determine the speaker's location with high accuracy by analyzing the sound wave's arrival time at different microphones.
· Voice Profiling: Voice biometrics allows for unique identification of a person. A unique "voiceprint" is created.

2. Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers

· Biometric Identifier: Heartbeat rhythm (cardiogram) is unique, like a fingerprint. This biometric can become your identifier.
· Geolocation without GPS: Even a simple accelerometer and gyroscope, by tracking steps and turns, can reconstruct your route using inertial navigation methods.
· Activity and Sleep Detection: Specialists can determine when you are sleeping, running, driving, or even typing on a keyboard by analyzing data from motion sensors.

3. Smart Home Systems

· Motion and Light Sensors: Allow for building a precise map of your movement around the apartment and your daily routine.
· Smart Sockets and Meters: Analysis of power consumption shows when you are home, when you are asleep, when you use powerful appliances. The usage pattern of a washing machine or kettle is as unique as handwriting.
· Smart Locks and Cameras: Logs of door openings/closings, video surveillance history—all of this is stored in clouds which can be compromised.

4. TVs with Camera and Microphone

· Targeted Surveillance via Webcam: Cases of unauthorized access to cameras for visual surveillance of owners are known.
· Content Analysis: ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) technologies allow the TV to analyze everything you watch (even from HDMI inputs) and build a detailed psychological profile of your interests based on this.

5. Cars

· Telematics: Modern cars constantly transmit data about speed, driving style, routes, system status, and even conversations inside the cabin to the manufacturer. Access to navigation history and the mobile app allows for the reconstruction of the owner's entire social and business life.
· Remote Control: If necessary, specialists can, through the manufacturer, gain remote access to the car's systems: lock doors, disable the engine, listen to the cabin.

6. Proactive Impact Methods

· Ultrasonic Beacons: Sounds inaudible to the human ear, transmitted through device speakers (e.g., in a shopping mall) and picked up by your smartphone's microphone. Thus, the offline world "tells" online trackers where you are.
· Zero-day Exploits: Using unknown software vulnerabilities to remotely hack a device, install spyware, and gain full control without the user's knowledge.
