According to researchers, the most sensitive data in the world may soon be at risk from a security breach.Even the most secure devices can communicate data thanks to the hack, which transforms a SATA cable into a radio transmitter. The hack is known as “SATAn.”
Even the most secure systems, including air-gapped networks that are cut off from any access to the outside world, according to Dr. Mordechai Guri of Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, were not safe.
SATAn uses SATA connection which which is used in numerous devices worldwide.Dr. Guri was able to transform the connection into a radio transmitter without making any physical changes, which allowed him to send all the data to a laptop.
Dr. Guri made it clear that the attack could only take place if malicious software had already been installed on the target device.
