E-mail Print PDF

Dutch researcher Björn Ruytenberg reveals the common Thunderbolt port has a serious flaw-- "Thunderspy," a means for hackers to bypass the login screen of a sleeping or locked PC in order to gain full access of the data within.

ThunderboltThe flaw resides in essentially all Thunderbolt-enabled Windows or Linux PCs manufactured before 2019, and allows for what the security industry dubs an "evil maid attack." This involves the potential attacker being alone with the PC (for example, in a hotel room), and simply requires opening the case of the target laptop with a screwdriver. Once the machine is open, the attacker simply needs to momentarily attach a device, reprogram the firmware and reattach the backplate for full access to the laptop. The operation, Ruytenberg says, takes all of 5 minutes.
