Agreed. Doing this attack for mass surveillance is probably impractical, but for targeted surveillance it's probably quite practical. > Also I guess by just adding video, the attack gets a lot harder. > I'm not as sure about that, but it would be an interesting follow-up experiment. Without high-quality video (e.g. on a phone over 3G), I wonder how many users will notice if you leave the video completely intact and simply change the audio? I'd guess most people won't notice.
