Re: Is this some James Bond-esque fantasy ?
I'm hoping this article is a satirical look at the recent surge of papers being published on rather ridiculous out-of-band attack vectors.
"researchers have shown they can exfiltrate data by blinking an HDD led."
"researchers have shown they can exfiltrate data by vibrating a cd rom in a certain way"
"researchers have found they can exfiltrate data via ultrasound, assuming speakers are attached"
All of which assume they've compromised the computer in the first place, and are close enough to pick up vibrations and sounds from it. Thus making it all a bit redundant.
