    SmartAttack: How Smartwatches Can Hack Air-Gapped Security Systems

    For decades, the fortress-like defense of air-gapped computers—those completely disconnected from external networks—has stood as a cornerstone of security in top-secret governmental agencies, defense contractors, and industries with critical infrastructure. The guiding philosophy was simple: if...
