Yup. I was going to post that TFA and the people at these embassies apparently have a very different definition of what people consider an air-gapped system.
Pushing the non-sense a bit further you could imagine they'd recreate ethernet, but air-gapped, using some hardware only allowing one packet in at a time, but both ways:
"Look ma, at this point in time it's not talking to that other machine, so it's air-gapped. Now it got one packet, but it's only a packet in, so it's air-gapped! Now it's sending only a packet out, so it's air-gapped!".
Yeah. But no.

Which says: > To move data between the outside world and the air-gapped system, it is necessary to write data to a physical medium such as a thumbdrive, and physically move it between computers.

- eviks 2y agoHow would you get data or even the OS itself to the machine under your definition?
