THUNDERSTRIKE is back with a vengeance. . . in Thunderstrike 2 and this time it is REMOTE! It can come in as a TROJAN and infect your Mac computer PERMANENTLY and all your Thunderbolt devices! This is serious. This actually probably counts as the first serious breach of Apple OS X. It is not a Virus but a very SERIOUS potential TROJAN! So far, THUNDERSTRIKE 2 is merely a proof of concept but it will infect your Mac permanently with no means of removing it. — PING!

THANKS to DayGloRed for the heads up!

The good news is it's presently just a proof-of-concept demo. The bad news is it seems it could become a real exploit.

Definitely one to watch out for.

This sounds analogous to the USB malware.
