Using nothing more than the built-in microphones and speakers of standard computers, the researchers were able to transmit passwords and other small amounts of data from distances of almost 65 feet. The software can transfer data at much greater distances by employing an acoustical mesh network made up of attacker-controlled devices that repeat the audio signals.

So far we never seen any dragon hardware, just repurposed human tech. We know the dragons have adapted and advanced tech themselves. Yet we not seen something that they have developed for themselves.
