I spit out my beverage when I read that. They reached out to Apple to understand the 'storage characteristics' and 'role' of a DC regulator...
- Elrac 12y agoThat was my reaction too. Unlike other chips which at least sit on some data buses and theoretically have electrical access to the information being processed by the PC, _this_ device is attached to little other than a DC power lead. To target this particular device as a data tap borders on science fiction. It's theoretically possible to glean bits of data from surges in power consumption, but not very practical.
