In the espionage crime involving ex-constitutional agent Egisto Ott, who is said to have spied for Putin’s secret service for years, investigators discovered special laptops with potentially explosive contents during raids in Vienna and Carinthia: SINA laptops. A third such computer is said to have been handed over to the FSB on behalf of fugitive Wirecard manager Jan Marsalek. But why is this so dangerous? And what special features do the laptops have? Krone+ explains the technology behind it.
From the outside you can’t necessarily tell that the devices are highly developed technology for working with top secret documents. SINA laptops – there are different models – look no different from ‘regular’ Thinkpads from Lenovo. There are also so-called hardened models for work in the ‘field’. They are shock, dust and water resistant and are intensively tested for durability according to military standards. But that’s not their only special quality.
