  Powerline communications usually needs dedicated Ethernet (or what have you) <-> power line converter... I think they meant something more like powerhammer [1] which works by controlling processor workload, causing the power draw of the system to throttle up and down in such a way that it becomes a useful exfiltration channel (assuming your adversary can tap into a distribution board and measure power usage).

      Every now and then we fix some side-effect-having bug in our codebase that makes me think of SHG. What a lad.
