Your are late for your Infosec Class... "AIR-FI: Generating Covert Wi-Fi Signals from Air-Gapped Computers" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06884 "In this paper, we show that attackers can exfiltrate data from air-gapped computers via Wi-Fi signals. Malware in a compromised air-gapped computer can generate signals in the Wi-Fi frequency bands. The signals are generated through the memory buses - no special hardware is required."

rather "use RAM to create signals on Wi-Fi bands and band-monitoring features in Wi-Fi cards to detect them" (which IMHO is neat enough, no need to go for the exaggeration...) Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06884
