"Air Gapping PCs Won't Stop Data Sharing Thanks to Sneaky Speakers"

A study conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev reveals that sound output devices such as computer speakers, headphones, earbuds, and more could be used to extract and send data between air-gapped computers. The new method called MOSQUITO uses such devices to secretly capture and transmit data via inaudible ultrasonic sound waves. This article continues to discuss the concept behind this new technique, other well-known side-channel attack techniques, and mitigation methods.
