BGU Researchers Demonstrate How Data Can Be Stolen From Isolated “Air-Gapped” Computers Through a Typical USB Flash Drive
Above: Illustration of USBee, in which an ordinary, unmodified USB drive (A) transmits information to a nearby receiver (B) through electromagnetic waves emitted from the drive data bus. Researchers at BGU’s Cyber Security Research Center (CSRC) have demonstrated that an unmodified USB connected to a computer with malicious code can be used to steal data from infected and even air-gapped” […]
BGU Cyber Security Researchers Present DiskFiltration: Data Exfiltration from Speakerless Air-Gapped Computers via Covert Hard Drive Noise
Air-gapped computers are disconnected from the Internet physically and logically. This measure is taken in order to prevent the leakage of sensitive data from secured networks. In the past, it has been shown that malware can exfiltrate data from air-gapped computers by transmitting ultrasonic signals via the computer’s speakers. However, such acoustic communication relies on […]
