Air-gap network hacking technique, infects systems via cellphone even if isolated from the Internet
Israeli researchers presented the air-gap network hacking technique to compromise a system, even if it is isolated from the Internet, using a cellphone.

Researchers at Ben Gurion University presented a study on the hacking technique dubbed air-gap network hacking which allows an attacker to inoculate a specific type of malware into a cellphone and use the mobile device as an attack vector to hit computer in the vicinity. The news was spread by the Time of Israel website, the attack scenario proposed is disconcerting, a hackers from any place on the planet could use cellphone-based malware to remotely access any data stored in a targeted system, this is possible exploiting the electromagnetic waves emanating from computers even is it is isolated from the Internet.

This attack scenario to air-gap networks has been debated many times as explained the Prof. Yuval Elovici, head of BGU’s Cyber Security Lab, the element of innovation in the air-gap network hacking is the use of cellphone.

Also the computer systems within the Iranian plant of Nataz infected by Stuxnet were isolated from the internet, in that case source of intelligence referred the use of USB as an attack vector. Let’s try to image an attack to a critical infrastructure based on the air-gap network hacking technique, it’s clear that it could have devastating effects.

The attack described by Elovici is based on the use of electromagnetic or acoustic emanations from targeted hardware.
