"VoltSchemer Attacks Use Wireless Chargers to Inject Voice Commands, Fry Phones"
Researchers from the University of Florida and CertiK have demonstrated a new set of attacks dubbed VoltSchemer that can inject voice commands to manipulate a smartphone's voice assistant via the magnetic field emitted by an off-the-shelf wireless charger. VoltSchemer can also be used to physically damage a mobile device or to heat items near the charger to a high temperature. The attack manipulates the charger's behavior using electromagnetic interference. The team tested nine of the world's best-selling wireless chargers, exposing security flaws in these products. This article continues to discuss the VoltSchemer attacks.
