Ross Bevington (security researcher) found that electronic cigarettes could penetrate the computer by deceiving it to think it was a keyboard. It was also able to hack your computer by interfering with network traffic.

For those who do not know what the latter are, e-cigarette is a portable electronic device that creates aerosols by heating the liquid. The user then inhales the aerosol. The use of electronic cigarettes is sometimes called faping. Liquid in electronic cigarettes, called electronic liquid, are usually made of nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavors.

Pirates are always trying to find new ways to penetrate their victims. This security problem occurs because most electronic cigarettes come with a rechargeable lithium battery, which can be plugged into the cable or connected directly to the computer's USB port.
