Every computer monitor emits invisible radiation. This radiation can be captured remotely. If done the right way, the image shown on the monitor can be reconstructed remotely. This allows the attacker to observe whatever is going on on his victim’s computer!

Information that drives the video display takes the form of high frequency electrical signals. These oscillating electric currents create electromagnetic radiation in the RF range. These radio emissions are correlated to the video image being displayed, so in theory they can be used to recover the displayed image.

I’ve recently read a blog from Max Limpag, post is titled Ghost in the machine. The post is about a website apparently named Peter Answers.

Basically the site is a prank tool, which uses a very cool trick to fool the audience.
