BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It’s a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys – thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device

Why though? Why would anyone need a dead man switch for a computer?

People with security clearances who like to work in public places? It’s a niche item for sure.

Most people don’t, but there are many high-risk folks who do. The main target is journalists, activists, and human rights defenders operating in oppressive countries.

There’s also benefits for anyone with very sensitive private keys or other IP on their machines, including some businesses and cryptocurrency traders.
