Thunderstrike, A notorious sideband BIOS Virus discovered in 2014 that allows spies to attack an unattended Mac Computer by plugging a thunderbolt device into a Apple Mac Computer and to replace the boot bios with a virus without needing have login control of the computer. This is possible since the thunderbolt bus allows either side of the port to be the master device (much like the new USB 3.1 standard), traditional Computer bus previously only allowed mastering from the Computer side of the port, and not the device.
