A team of researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have successfully demonstrated that information from an air-gapped computer can be stolen using only a simple cellphone that can connect ...

A new attack dubbed 'SmartAttack' uses smartwatches as a covert ultrasonic signal receiver to exfiltrate data from physically isolated (air-gapped) systems. Air-gapped systems, commonly deployed in ...

Computer systems that are physically isolated from the outside world (air-gapped) can still be attacked. This is demonstrated by IT security experts. They show that data can be transmitted to ...

Researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) Cyber Security Research Center have discovered that virtually any cellphone infected with a malicious code can use GSM phone frequencies to ...

The past year has challenged security assumptions about the almighty air gap, as several researchers have lately shown new and creative ways to facilitate attacks on systems and networks completely ...

Air-gap computers or computing systems are those that have been physically removed from other networks, such as the internet, as a way to make them remotely hack-proof. The only way such a computer or ...

Researchers at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered a newmethod to breach air-gapped computer systems called “BitWhisper” which enables two-way communications between ...

Isolating computers from the Internet, called “air gapping,” is considered one of the best ways to defend critical systems and their sensitive data from cyberattacks, but researchers have found that ...

A novel side-channel attack dubbed "RAMBO" (Radiation of Air-gapped Memory Bus for Offense) generates electromagnetic radiation from a device's RAM to send data from air-gapped computers. Air-gapped ...

The big picture: Collecting sensitive data from an air-gapped computer – that is, one that isn't connected to any network using an Ethernet cable or wirelessly – is one of the most secure methods for ...

Isolating computers from the Internet, called “air gapping,” is considered one of the best ways to defend critical systems and their sensitive data from cyberattacks, but researchers have found that ...
