A thermal attack refers to a method of exploiting a computer system or device by manipulating the temperature of its components, often to induce failure or extract sensitive information. This type of attack can take advantage of the way electronic devices handle heat, which can affect their behavior. Here are a few aspects of thermal attacks: 1. **Heat Generation**: Electronic components generate heat during normal operations. Attackers can intentionally increase the heat beyond normal operating conditions to cause a malfunction or failure.
