RSA security attack demo deep-fries Apple Mac components

At RSA conference, CrowdStrike demonstrates explosive PC/Mac attack

Network World - San Francisco -- How bad can cyberattacks get?

How about burning the internal components of a machine, whether PC or Mac, to a crisp so there's no
thought of it being recoverable? That's what security vendor CrowdStrike showed could be done to an
Apple Mac OS X today at the RSA Conference.

“We can actually set the machine on fire,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike, who
joined with the security firm’s CEO George Kurtz to show exactly how this kind of attack can be carried out on
an Apple OS X computer. Alperovitch added the demo done at the Moscone Center would be controlled to
raise the temperature level of the targeted Mac to permanently damage the electronics, not ignite it, since this
after all was a public venue at the Moscone Center where fires would not be countenanced.
