I'd be interested to see more information on that. I don't doubt companies would do that, but some good information on when it happens and how to prevent it would be useful.

    So I did some looking, and as far as I can tell, there's no definitive proof of someone testing this and reporting on it. It might just be all rumors and speculation.

    Thanks, I hope they don't do it. I would expect the security community to be able to find something like this, since it's not hard to hook up some devices and do packet sniffing to detect if they're talking to each other.

    This would be an excellent use case for LTT's faraday cage room for instance.
