New method (SmartAttack) uses ultrasonic transmissions to send stolen data from air-gapped systems to smartwatches.
A newly discovered cyberattack method, dubbed SmartAttack, leverages smartwatches and ultrasonic signals to steal data from air-gapped systems—computers physically isolated from external networks. Developed by researchers led by Mordechai Guri at Ben-Gurion University, this technique exploits smartwatch microphones to capture covert ultrasonic transmissions from compromised air-gapped machines.
