No monitor is safe.
Tempest is a Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation signal receiver which means it is not really being used to pick up monitor radiation (although possible) but rather your signal eminating from the motherboard/processor itself which gives much more data than just a monitor. This gets amplified over wiring and piping in a structure. I have seen them setup in van at a 2-3 mile distance from the source. I suspect they can use them readily from a satellite now or by sticking a transmitter onto a water pipe and such things. But why use tempest when there are dongles hanging out of the routers at the nocs for law enforcement to plug into? http://www.iab.org/documents/docs/iab-plenaries/2003-07-vienna/slem.pdf http://news.com.com/2100-1023_3-213242.html Gordon www.katzglobal.com > For those who don't know, TEMPEST is a method to "read" whatever is > displayed on a CRT monitor.
