Cameras can Steal Data from Computer Hard Drive LED Lights
Researchers at BGU’s Cyber Security Research Center have demonstrated that data can be stolen from an isolated “air-gapped” computer’s hard drive reading the pulses of light on the LED drive using various types of cameras and light sensors. In the new paper, the researchers demonstrated how data can be received by a Quadcopter drone flight, even outside […]

Malware Lets a Drone Steal Data by Watching a Computer’s Blinking LED
A FEW HOURS after dark one evening earlier this month, a small quadcopter drone lifted off from the parking lot of Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba, Israel. It soon trained its built-in camera on its target, a desktop computer’s tiny blinking light inside a third-floor office nearby. The pinpoint flickers, emitting from the LED hard drive indicator […]
Global entities come shopping for Israeli cybersecurity
At Tel Aviv confab, prime minister announces new National Center for Cyber Education to keep Israel’s young generations at the top of the cyber game. As computer devices and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity continue to break new boundaries and create changes to our lifestyle, new cybersecurity technologies to defend our tech-savvy lives are crucial. […]
NTU Singapore and Ben-Gurion University Ink Partnership to Combat Advanced Cyber Threats
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) are collaborating to find innovative ways to counter cyber threats. The aim of the joint research project, called the Bio-Inspired Agile Cyber Security Assurance Framework (BICSAF), is to develop innovative technologies for tackling Advanced Persistent Threats. These are stealthy and continuous computer hacking processes […]

Detecting a smartphone thief in 14 seconds
Researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev have developed a security model based on how users touch their device’s screen. Most people are confident that locking their smartphone with a password is protection enough, but past studies have proven that such passwords can be fairly easily broken since most people choose familiar passwords that […]
BGU Researchers Question Applicability of Nobel Prize Research
BGU researchers are challenging the findings about a new class of materials that could potentially be used for super-fast computing and secure communications. One of the focal points of the new Quantum Information Era has been the engineering of a new type of material – topological materials, which have the useful property that some of their […]
