This has the drawback of being an active attack, with that laser beam having to illuminate the surface and so being open to easy detection. The newly reported surveillance methodology, however, is passive in nature.
To pull off this privacy-busting attack 'simply' requires the use of an electro-optical sensor attached to a telescope. Once this is pointed at the target power LED, from distances of up to 100 feet away, the optical signal can be sampled.

Ransomware in Healthcare: The Costly Reality of Withstanding Hackers
This isn't a rhetorical question, even if it may be difficult to come up with a direct answer. After all, between 1960 and 2018, healthcare increased as a percentage of GDP from a modest 5 percent to more than triple that at almost 18 percent.
The rise in healthcare's share of GDP would be less of a concern if it were accompanied by similar growth in productivity, i.e., caring for more people so that per capita healthcare costs grew at a much slower pace, if at all.
Hackers Spotted Using Morse Code in Phishing Attacks to Evade Detection
Microsoft has disclosed details of an evasive year-long social engineering campaign wherein the operators kept changing their obfuscation and encryption mechanisms every 37 days on average, including relying on Morse code, in an attempt to cover their tracks and surreptitiously harvest user
Microsoft likened the attachment to a "jigsaw puzzle," noting that individual parts of the HTML file are designed to appear innocuous and slip past endpoint security software, only to reveal its true colors when these segments are decoded and assembled together.
Global ... Why it’s so hard for the U.S.
