New PIXHELL Attack Exploits LCD Screen Noise to Exfiltrate Data from Air-Gapped Computers

A new side-channel attack dubbed PIXHELL could be abused to target air-gapped computers by breaching the "audio gap" and exfiltrating sensitive information by taking advantage of the noise generated by pixels on an LCD screen. "Malware in the air-gap and audio-gap computers generates crafted pixe...

Exfiltrating Data from Air-Gapped Computers via Wi-Fi Signals (Without Wi-Fi Hardware)

A security researcher has demonstrated that sensitive data could be exfiltrated from air-gapped computers via a novel technique that leverages Wi-Fi signals as a covert channel—surprisingly, without requiring the presence of Wi-Fi hardware on the targeted systems. Dubbed "AIR-FI," the attack hing...

Exfiltrating Data from Air-Gapped Computers Using Screen Brightness

It may sound creepy and unreal, but hackers can also exfiltrate sensitive data from your computer by simply changing the brightness of the screen, new cybersecurity research shared with The Hacker News revealed. In recent years, several cybersecurity researchers demonstrated innovative ways to...

Hacker Can Steal Data from Air-Gapped Computers through Power Lines

Do you think it is possible to extract data from a computer using its power cables? If no, then you should definitely read about this technique. Researchers from Israel's Ben Gurion University of the Negev—who majorly focus on finding clever ways to exfiltrate data from an isolated or air-gapped...

MOSQUITO Attack Allows Air-Gapped Computers to Covertly Exchange Data

The team of security researchers—who last month demonstrated how attackers could steal data from air-gapped computers protected inside a Faraday cage—are back with its new research showing how two or more air-gapped PCs placed in the same room can covertly exchange data via ultrasonic waves...

Hackers Can Now Steal Data Even From Faraday Cage Air-Gapped Computers

A team of security researchers—which majorly focuses on finding clever ways to get into air-gapped computers by exploiting little-noticed emissions of a computer's components like light, sound and heat—have published another research showcasing that they can steal data not only from an air gap...

Hacker Can Steal Data from Air-Gapped Computers Using IR CCTV Cameras

Air-gapped computers that are isolated from the Internet and physically separated from local networks are believed to be the most secure computers which are difficult to infiltrate. However, these networks have been a regular target in recent years for researchers, who have been trying to...

This Malware Can Transfer Data via USB Emissions from Air-Gapped Computers

Air-gapped computers that are isolated from the Internet or other networks and believed to be the most secure computers on the planet have become a regular target in recent years. A team of researchers from Ben-Gurion University in Israel has discovered a way to extract sensitive information from...

How to Leak Data From Air Gapped Computers With USB Devices

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of Negev have found a way to take a run-of-the-mill USB device and use it to leak data from an air-gapped computers via RF signals. Academics with the school’s Cyber Security Research Labs division claim they’ve come up with software, dubbed USBee, that can...

Academics Devise New Way to Steal Data from Air-Gapped Computers

Stealing data from air-gapped computers is one of the great exercises in computer security: advanced attackers covet what’s stored on these isolated machines, while researchers try to figure out the novel ways adversaries could jump those gaps. The latest effort doesn’t involve USBs, heat,...

How-to — Stealing Decryption Key from Air-Gapped Computer in Another Room

Air-gapped computers that are believed to be the most secure computers on the planet have become a regular target for researchers in recent years. Air-gap computers are one that are isolated from the Internet or any other computers that are connected to the Internet or external network, so hacker...

Hacking Air-Gapped Computers Using Heat

An air-gapped computer system isolated from the Internet and other computers that are connected to external networks believes to be the most secure computers on the planet -- Yeah?? You need to think again before calling them 'safe'. A group of Israeli security researchers at the Cyber Security...

AirHopper Steals Data From Air-Gapped Computers

Air-gapped computers are generally the home of sacrosanct data. The lack of a connection between these machines and others on a network, or the Internet, means in theory that data stored on those devices is kept away from the harm of web-based threats and hackers moving laterally on a network...

Acoustical Mesh Network Used to Infect Air-Gapped Computers

The soundest security advice managers of critical computing systems have been given is to air gap those machines. Don’t network them and don’t expose them to the Internet, and there’s no way hackers reach them from the Web and no way a direct infection replicates. Recently, there’s been reason fo...
