New Lenovo Security Feature Locks Down ThinkPads
Posted on Nov 25, 08 07:40 PM PDT
Lenovo knows that notebook theft is on the rise, and they have introduced a new security feature that allows users to lockdown their Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks simply by sending a text message. Known as the Lenovo Constant Secure Remote Disable, it was a joint effort with Phoenix Technologies, and sending the text message "lockdown PC now" or "PC shut off" to the PC's onboard mobile broadband service will automatically prevent unauthorized access to the computer's data. Should the notebook be off when the disable command is sent, it will automatically shut down the next time it is powered on. The moment the notebook enters protection mode, users can receive a confirmation text message. Would be nice if the notebook could send its current coordinates via GPS as well to track down the thief.
