DoS attacks against hard disk drives using acoustic signals

Posted on by

A group of Princeton and Purdue researchers has shown that it’s possible to mount a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against hard disk drives via acoustic signals. Threat severity Hard disk drives (HDDs) have become the most commonly-used type of n… Continue reading DoS attacks against hard disk drives using acoustic signals→

Researchers use sound to compromise hard drives in new DOS proof-of-concept

In an entirely new twist on the security of hard disk drives (HDDs), a team of researchers from Princeton and Purdue University have released a paper demonstrating how acoustic signals at specific frequencies can compromise devices that rely on HDD tec… Continue reading Researchers use sound to compromise hard drives in new DOS proof-of-concept→
