From [1]Hacker News: 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 computer but also from a computer inside a Faraday cage. Fascinating research for sure. If you happen to be one of the few working in an environment where [2]air-gapping and [3]Faraday cages are common, this highlights that they are not 100% effective in isolation (no pun intended). This is a reminder of the value of good security hygiene, physical and analog and digital, and occasional validation of assumptions. For the other 99.999% of security professionals, there are more practical and pragmatic risks requiring addressing with a higher return on investment. This is a reminder of the value of good security hygiene, physical and analog and digital, and occasional validation of assumptions. See what I did there?
