"Another advanced cyberterrorist tool is monitoring computers, fax machines, printers and other devices by picking up their electromagnetic radiation. TEMPEST devices (Transient Electro-Magnetic Pulse Emanation Standard, also called "Van Eck" devices after Wim van Eck who wrote the first paper on the subject in 1985) pick up radiation mainly from monitors and connecting cables. They allow cyberspies to intercept your password, proprietary business plan or embarrassing love letter, clearly displayed on their monitors."
