While many computer makers have been more than eager to adopt Thunderbolt to their computers, Microsoft has remained as one of the few that have not, citing security issues as one of the reasons why. It turns out that Microsoft’s concerns are indeed valid, especially with a new Thunderbolt security flaw discovered that could leave millions of PCs vulnerable.
This is according to a discovery by Eindhoven University of Technology researcher Björn Ruytenberg, where he found a flaw in Thunderbolt that would allow an attacker to gain full access to the computer’s data, even bypassing the hard disk encryption in the process, and the scary thing is that it takes just five minutes to pull off.
Before you start getting worried, it should be noted that this hack/attack isn’t exactly easy to pull off. While a skilled hacker could take about 5 minutes, it will require physical access to your computer or laptop, and it will also require them to unscrew it. This means that if you keep your laptop on your person at all times, there is a good chance that you will never fall prey to this attack.
According to Ruytenberg who dubbed the attack method “Thunderspy”, “All the evil maid needs to do is unscrew the backplate, attach a device momentarily, reprogram the firmware, reattach the backplate, and the evil maid gets full access to the laptop. All of this can be done in under five minutes.”

Video calls have been around for a long time, and with the coronavirus pandemic, they are becoming more important than ever, so much so that Elon Musk has claimed that video calls in Tesla vehicles will “definitely” be a future feature that will be implemented into the company’s cars.
In a way, Tesla has pretty much laid out all the groundwork and infrastructure necessary for such a feature to exist. Tesla’s cars, like the Model 3, have a driver-facing camera and a huge display, meaning that it can not only capture the driver’s video, but also display video from the person who is calling.
It seems that this feature could have been a long-time coming because as noted by Electrek, the driver-facing camera hasn’t been used for anything, at least that we know of. This suggests that Tesla might have had plans for video calling during the developmental phase of the Model 3, but have yet to implement it.
Yeah, definitely a future feature
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 5, 2020
That being said, there are no doubt some safety concerns regarding such a feature, but perhaps it could be similar to gaming or watching YouTube videos in the Tesla, where it can only be accessed when the vehicle is parked. There is currently no date on when the feature will be released.
