As a professional online person, I have a soft spot in my heart for bad tweets. Sure, I like to chortle at a good tweet from one of the many amateur Mitch Hedbergs plying their trade on social media. But nothing beats a truly rage stroke-inducing bad tweet. It is my daily bread. And whenever I see a shitty tweetÃÂ ...

Even the cleverest malware is stranded unless it can communicate with the people who sent it. This can be hard to achieve without a network's defenders noticing the malware's chatter, so stealthy communication is at a premium for malware that wants to go unnoticed.

If Ruiu is right, it means that malware, which he has called “badBIOS”, has somehow been installed in one of his computer's chips, only to lie dormant until an audio signal wakes it up.

In posts here, here, and here, Ruiu posited another theory that sounds like something from the screenplay of a post-apocalyptic movie: "badBIOS," as Ruiu dubbed the malware, has the ability to use high-frequency transmissions passed between computer speakers and microphones to bridge airgaps.
