01.01.2022 Can Viruses Really Spread Through the Microphone? Is it not bad enough that we have to be cautious with the different ways our computer can be affected with viruses, we now have to physically isolate an infected computer under quarantine in case it infects other computers just through sound? Researchers have proven that it’s possible to transmit computer viruses via sound, confirming a controversial suspicion that Malware was mutating into strange, unexpected new forms. ... Three years ago Dragos Ruiu, a computer security expert, discovered that several of his computers were infected with some kind of virus. What was interesting was that they were managing to talk to each other even when their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections were turned off! Even disconnecting the Ethernet and power cables didn’t work either! He physically removed the wireless cards from the machine and it didn’t have any effect on stopping the virus. In the three years, Ruiu said, the infections have persisted, almost like a strain of bacteria that's able to survive extreme antibiotic therapies. Within hours or weeks of wiping an infected computer clean, the strange behaviour would return. The most noticeable sign of infection is the machine's inability to boot off a CD. Other more subtle behaviours can be seen when using tools such as Process Monitor, which is designed for troubleshooting and forensic investigations. In October, Ruiu settled upon a hypothesis this malware would first get onto a computer on an infected USB stick, where it would burrow into the machine’s BIOS. It would then take over the computer’s microphone and speakers and communicate with other computers by high-frequency sounds that humans can’t hear. Yep! That’s right computers that, literally, speak to each other! It’s a fascinating find, although it still doesn't explain where the badBIOS came from, if it does exist or how it first infected Ruiu's computers. But, these days it isn't unusual for the paranoid to stick tape across their webcam to stop hackers taking sneaky pictures. Perhaps it may be wise to begin eyeing that uncovered microphone with equal suspicion?
