My mind is blown.
There are many countermeasures that could be used to prevent this from happening. Apart from the usual network security technologies and protocols that are in place in sensitive environments, a user could also… Not use SATA drives. M.2 drives are becoming more and more prevalent and the use of such a drive would make this vulnerability irrelevant. Proper electromagnetic shielding would also prevent access.
Still, this kind of vulnerability could present headaches for organizations with highly sensitive data. The SATA standard is very widely used. The world’s nuclear codes will be safe but shorter data strings including things like banking passwords or cryptocurrency keys could be targeted. What would this mean for gamers and home users? Essentially nothing. There are plenty of other ways for hackers to infiltrate home systems and if someone really wanted your information, it would be just as easy to steal the drive itself. That wouldn't be as high tech, but its effective! Your data – whatever it may be – is safe from this devilish SATAn attack.
