I never suspected it could happen at Apple. And it's not about $10, you know. It's $8500! I was counting on that money.
Have you thought about trying to track the person down using their wallet address? The blockchain is only as anonymous as someone is careful.

firewire / thunderbolt DMA access was fixed many years ago: if you enabled a firmware password, those buses have DMA disabled.
Are you saying that if I have a firmware password on my MBA that my internal SSD is inaccessible via Thunderbolt externally (until I've entered my password)?

Hm. What's wrong with FileVault? I knew that there could be some issues with my laptop after service it Apple, they informed me about it. But I thought to myself, come on, it's just a minor cooler issue, they won't even need to login to fix it. How could they possible break anything.
FileValult problems: http://mjtsai.com/blog/2012/08/07/filevault-2s-apple-id-back... AFAIK they don't login to fix hardware issues -- they netboot diagnostics software but on multiple occasions I was informed by people that Apple had "made a backup of their system" before a reinstall. What that entails and what the retention policy is, I do not know but I suspect unless they're doing a three-pass erase on their tempo…
Might be a good time to backup your drive before logs are rotated... At the time of your writting, you only have kernel.log as a boot time clue, and it will self erase.

inform the FBI that you have reason to believe an apple employee at that location is laundering money. And possibly using it to buy drugs.
Moral of the story: don't deal with the Apple Store. The amount of people I know who have had their data trashed (after possibly being cloned) is quite high. The solution to most problems is wipe the machine. They usually come to me after telling them to fuck off. I haven't had to destroy a single machine yet. We're talking trivial shit like an HP printer driver thrashing the CPU or corrupt mail folders. Seriously, 1…
That's the best comment in this thread.

Good point. I already saved a copy of system logs.
