Lukasz found that the light that is gloriously eminating from a monitor can be picked up by the ambient light sensors in a mobile device. If an end user takes a leisurely stroll to a malicious domain, an attacker can determine their browser history. The attack itself is able to work by parsing out the different colors used for sites that have been previously and newly visited. These sites produce small variations in light that are detected by the ambient light sensors. This attack method can also steal a precise QR code.
