[QDP2012]

"In the future, computer hackers could steal sensitive data from people’s computers using nothing but soundwaves, experts have warned.

German computer scientists have proved the idea is possible by developing a new type of malware that can travel between machines using sound waves that are inaudible to unsuspecting humans." - DailyMail.co.uk

Very interesting.

Thanks for the heads up QDP2012! There was not enough data in the article to evaluate the 'how would that work' feasibility of it all. Interesting none the less. Getting into the 'organics' of computers, is a logical step.

If this "air gaps" thingy is not another scam to try and sell us some 'new malware protection' from an imaginary ghostly threat... I want the HOWTO nowwww.
