Gaming mouse can be turned into makeshift microphone to spy on you

A good and cheap “fix” is a mousepad. The autors wrote that it absorbs a lot of sound waves and so it is much harder to collect usable data. But as said earlier, it’s more for the own “paranoia” than something important. I will stay without mousepad with my 25kHz mouse, because I do not fear that attack on my Linux machine(s).
