Ah, so it's a malicious program using fan vibrations to communicate data to an attacker via sound where the attacker doesn't have a network connection to the computer the malicious program is running on?
I thought it was going to be something to do with e.g. passively reading passwords/keys via the fan vibrations somehow when the system was running non-malicious code.
