In a statement, Intel confirmed new potential physical attack vectors, which can be exploited only with physical access to computers. However, Intel says physical access is required to exploit the vulnerability and this can be avoided if consumers use trusted peripherals. New research has revealed that any PC with Thunderbolt made before 2019 is vulnerable to the “Thunderspy” security problem, which can be exploited to bypass the login screen of the system only when the device is in sleep mode. According to the company, the Thunderbolt port could allow bad actors to gain direct memory access. In addition to webcam shutter, Intel’s Thunderbolt ultra-high-speed I/O – a powerful standard that enables advanced accessories – is also not available on Surface Book 3, Surface Laptop 3 or any other Surface product.Ī Microsoft employee said that Surface products don’t come with Thunderbolt because of security concerns. In other words, don’t expect Microsoft to add a camera cover to Surface devices anytime soon because it’s not required, at least for now.
