| Titre | IDG Contributor Network: Flatbed scanners are latest cyberattack vector |
| Texte | Office scanners are now susceptible to attack, according to researchers. The ubiquitous office equipment's light-sensitivity can allow passing vehicles, or laser-carrying drones to trigger malware in a network, says a research team from two Israeli universities.The computer experts say they have been able to successfully create a test “covert channel†between a server and flatbed scanner. The proof-of-concept hack, in some experimental cases, was performed almost a kilometer away from the scanner. They used a kind of infiltrating illumination to fool the device.Numerous light sources could be used, they say. Hijacked smart bulbs and lasers were both used for the data-grab in experiments, the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and Weizmann Institute of Science researchers say in their paper (PDF).To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here |
