minus-square@Treczokslink5•2 months agoIf it was possible to export data via email or to google drive, those systems were not actually air-gapped.
minus-square@TheKrackenlink2•2 months agoI think the thing they are relying on is USB drives to connect to the air gapped machines and then to a networked machine later. Obviously this is a failure in the air gapped system but it happens.
minus-square@Treczokslink2•2 months agoBut still, this is not something one should call “air-gapped”.
minus-square@TheKrackenlink3•2 months agoI agree, but the point is it’s a security failure where an “air gapped” system, which should never have a USB drive inserted, does have one inserted.
