New PIXHELL Attack Exploits Screen Noise to Exfiltrates Data from Air-Gapped Computers
(thehackernews.com)
It's not exactly new. It's known as Van Eck Phreaking. There are open-source projects such as TempestSDR that uses software defined radio dongles (such as RTL-SDR and AirSpy) to reconstruct a remote screen just by listening to its radio interferences.
I once listened to the radio noises emanated from my HDMI connection between my laptop and my LCD screen using a Baofeng UV-5R tuned in UHF frequencies. I could tune it from the street, dozens of meters away from the computer desk. HDMI is very noisy, even noisier than VGA. Even the shortest HDMI cable serves as an antenna for propagating such interference.
