MITRE ATT&CK technique

T1052

Exfiltration Over Physical Medium

About this technique

Adversaries may attempt to exfiltrate data via a physical medium, such as a removable drive. In certain circumstances, such as an air-gapped network compromise, exfiltration could occur via a physical medium or device introduced by a user. Such media could be an external hard drive, USB drive, cellular phone, MP3 player, or other removable storage and processing device.

Read the full ATT&CK description

The physical medium or device could be used as the final exfiltration point or to hop between otherwise disconnected systems.
