Thunderbolt (Lightning) Port Security Flaw Exposed — Computers Made Before 2019, Beware
According to foreign media, security researchers recently discovered a new security vulnerability that could make millions of computers manufactured before 2019 easily susceptible to physical attack, targeting a common component: the Thunderbolt port.
