Hack Computers without Internet

If your computer is not connected to internet, it is still vulnerable to hacking thanks to air-gap malware. It is a malware that travels in air just like sound waves and can help hackers to steal data from any computer if even if it is not connected with internet.

This malware is developed by hackers to counter the Air-gapping strategy of cyber-security experts who thought that if a defected device is removed from network, it will fail to send its defect causing Malware to any other machine. This newly developed malware uses the audio devices like sound cards and microphones to transmit itself to the nearby computers from the effected machine, resulting in hacking of the computer.

Although computer data is unable to be sent in the form of sound waves but your sound card has enough expertise to send it in the form of inaudible sound to targeted nearby devices. Extent of this malware can be understood by this piece of information that sound of a dot matrix printer can be used to reverse engineer the content that was being printed on it.



Although a serious threat to security of any computer but experts say that domestic users shouldn’t be worried from this kind of sophisticated malware as the creators of this malware were too smart to be creating such a malware to just crack few passwords or get into personal information/documents of ordinary users. This virus is more threatening to large scale corporations and businesses.
