Summary
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany found that WiFi routers can identify people with “almost 100% accuracy” using beamforming feedback information and machine learning models. This technology can turn every router into a potential means for surveillance, even if a person is not carrying a device. The study involved 197 participants and warned of a significant risk to privacy.
