"E-cigarettes can be used to hack computers"

Hackers can now use electronic cigarettes to hack into computers as demonstrated by security researchers and experts. At BSides London, Ross Bevington gave a presentation in which he reveals how a computer could be hacked by using an e-cigarette to intrude into its network traffic or trick it into recognizing the device as a keyboard. A security expert by the name of FourOctets also performed a demonstration with the addition of a hardware chip to the e-cigarette and pre-written script to distribute commands, which were then executed by the computer. This article further discusses these demonstrations and how to prevent such attacks.
