And Now, a Cyberattack That Uses Fan Vibrations to Steal Data: Air-ViBeR

[silentbogo]

Again, stuxnet is a good counterpoint to that.

People keep quoting Stuxnet, but so far anything but banal infection by removable media no "sophisticated" techniques have been confirmed, and all the odd stuff probably originated from tinfoil-hat weirdos.
Removable media is the oldest attack vector (older than me). No magic microphones or fan oscillations, just plain-old flash drives.

they did that after fansmitter it’s called diskfiltration

Sounds from your hard disk drive can be used to steal a PC's data

Researchers have found a way to steal a PC’s data by using the mechanical noise coming from the hard disk drives inside.

Imagine, you could actually feel the data flow

Imagine checking out the data... on the fly

*ba dum tss*

Translating HDD grunting noise

Me and my sick mind read this so wrongly, specially with two or more drives

Funny how every time someone mentions Delta fans, the atmosphere visibly improves in topics.

Something to remember

and nothing speicifc to steal from home gaming pc... and one other thing if you are using a separate fan controller insted of your mobo controlling the fans it's nothing hackable then like this 007 way from a movie...

 

[Arctucas]

With all fans connected directly to PSU, and running 100%, should I be concerned?

 

[hat]

Nobody should be concerned by this... unless you are a likely target for government attacks.

 

[theonek]

to be concerned if you are working for nsa or any other agency with sensitive information....
