    Didn’t someone implement a virus at some point that propagated through sound from speakers to microphones?

      That was a way to offload information from an air gapped system. It already has to be compromised to work

      IIRC that was not proven and the researcher who made that claim had some mental illness? Idk

        To be fair, if we discredited research from individuals with mental illness half of our research would be gone.

        But yeah, it was mostly a proof of concept of someone happened to plug a bad USB into an air gapped machine with a mic and speakers
