Lenovo ThinkPads to freeze when texted

Lenovo announced plans to bring customers a new security defense against unauthorized data access on Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks.

This technology enables specially equipped notebooks to become utterly worthless if stolen – as long as the owner remembers to text in the emergency code
