It’s a vulnerability referred to as TEMPEST (Transient ElectroMagnetic Pulse Emanation STandard, a very awkward backronym) with roots in espionage going all the way back to World War II. But as a digital transmission with at least some level of encryption using the HDCP system, HDMI cables weren’t thought to be particularly susceptible to it.

The researchers claim that this system, or functionally identical alternatives, are already being used by state-level spies…
