Air-Gapped Computers Proven To Be Penetrable

Researchers from the  Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) Cyber Security Research Center have discovered that virtually any cellphone infected with a malicious code can use GSM phone frequencies to steal critical information from infected “air-gapped” computers. This discovery by the center’s reasearchers is a breakthrough, since these are networks that supposedly function in a network completely separate from the open network, and are thus supposed to be impenetrable to external elements.
