Cybersecurity

Data Is Never Safe—Students in Philadelphia Just Proved It

GYEONGJU, SOUTH KOREA - DECEMBER 22: In this handout provided by the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., Workers of the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co. participate in anti cyber attack exercise at Wolsong power plant on December 22, 2014 in Gyeongju, South Korea. The state-run nuclear power plant operator Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co (KHNP) ran simulation drills today to prepare for more cyber-attacks after their data were leaked on a blog and to a Twitter account under the profile "president of anti-nuclear reactor group." The identity of hacker remains unknown. (Photo by Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co. via Getty Images)
With the right program on board, data can be transmitted out of a computer with no ethernet, no wi-fi, no intentional vein to the external world at all.
A team at this weekend’s PennApps hackathon in Philadelphia wrote a computer program that made it possible to transmit data out of a completely unconnected computer, as Technical.ly Philly previously reported. The hack transmits data slowly and it doesn’t broadcast far, but it does it, showing that there’s always a way around any kind of security.
