CD loaders do emit RF?

[rafael]

An electromechanical device such as a cd-loader (or similar) does emit radiofrequency noise to the outside? Can that rf signal be externally intercepted and, eventually, manipulated? Tkyu

Everything electronic emits some RF radiation.

The RF emissions from a CD drive should be able to be intercepted. You might be able to retrieve data remotely that way.

I am pretty sure that you would not be able to manipulate data remotely that way -- without using so much RF that the user of the computer would be physically harmed.
