Title: Major Thunderbolt security loopholes fuel data theft, Macs partially affected Post by: HCK on December 20, 2022, 04:05:14 pm Major Thunderbolt security loopholes fuel data theft, Macs partially affected
A Dutch researcher has unearthed critical flaws in Intel’s Thunderbolt interface that allow an attacker to hack a vulnerable system in minutes. If your computer is equipped with a Thunderbolt port and was manufactured before 2019, then it’s most likely susceptible to a stealth compromise codenamed Thunderspy. It allows an attacker to exploit the interface for bypassing the regular authentication and gaining a foothold in the machine even if it is locked and its hard drive is encrypted.
