Quote: Researchers proved they can seep data off your PC through fan vibrations.
As more and more security vulnerabilities get patched up, researchers are turning to rather unique methods of siphoning data from PCs. The latest technique comes from Mordechai Guri at the Ben Gurion University in Israel.
The researcher found that it is possible to use a mobile phone to measure your PC's fan vibrations. Yes, you read that right. The program is called AiR-ViBeR.
The core concept of Guri's work consists of overcoming the air-gap between a phone and a PC using a non-internet or cable-based connection.
He has found that the accelerometers in some mobile phones are incredibly accurate and can sense even the smallest of changes in movement coming through your PC's fan vibrations.
