3. If you have computer near you, can you induce bit flips on purpose remotely, without executing code on it? (lol, AFAICT if you wait looooong enough cosmic rays will this for you for free, but I am asking about realistic attack). I don't think an external attack (with particles) is plausible.
You well might be right, but attacks only get better... Once upon a time, at an open source party some people claimed that from commodity microwave oven one can made device that (don't remember which of those) damages electronics and/or severely interfere with GSM communications at nontrivial distance. Don't remember the electricity requirements.
