Academics steal data from air-gapped systems using PC fan vibrations

Israeli researchers use vibrations from CPU, GPU, or PC chassis fans to broadcast stolen information through solid materials and to nearby receives, breaking air-gapped system protections.

The technique, codenamed AiR-ViBeR, is the latest in a long list of wacky data exfiltration techniques devised by Mordechai Guri, the head of R&D at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel.

For the past half-decade, Guri has been researching methods of sending data from air-gapped computers to the outside world without being detected.
