THUNDERBOLT vulnerability that cannot be fixed except in silicon affects all computers that use Thunderbolt since 2011 BUT requires physical access to your computer to exploit. Claims it can get around encryption, which I HIGHLY doubt, especially on Macs which use 256 bit AES standard and on more modern Macs does not store passwords on the computer or drive. Affects Microsoft with Thunderbolt interface as well, also may impact impending USB4 standard. —PING!
APPLE and MICROSOFT PING!

I am very surprised, and frankly very disappointed, that they didn't name this vulnerability "THUNDERSTRUCK".

____________vulnerability that cannot be fixed...BUT requires physical access to your computer to exploit..Oh dear, another panic. Whatever shall I do? /sarc
This stuff is becoming a cliche.
Maybe we need a keyword for computer clickbait, eh?
