NEW RAMBO ATTACK STEALS DATA USING RAM IN AIR-GAPPED COMPUTERS
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
A new attack called RAMBO can steal data from highly secure air-gapped computers by using electromagnetic radiation emitted from the computer's RAM. This attack allows data transfer rates of up to 1,000 bits per second, making it suitable for stealing small amounts of data like text, keystrokes, and small files. Mitigation strategies such as zone restrictions and RAM jamming can help defend against the RAMBO attack, but they come with additional complexities.
