> We demonstrate a multi-stage monitor implant capable of loading arbitrary code and data encoded in specially crafted images and documents through active monitor snooping. This code infiltration technique can be implemented through a single pixel, or through subtle variations of a large number of pixels.

That's the activation after the firmware has been altered...

This could also be used to circumvent those HDMI protections, DRMs and so on, no?

If the access is really on a pixel- base, you could recover 1:1 each frame of the 4k 3D movie you're watching.

I think they misspelled Ang Cui's name in this article.
