Expect another huge bump for the old gal with this month’s release of the latest Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom. We’ll have to wait for Intel and MSI to share more information on the data breach in order to know what happens next.The Switch might have just celebrated its sixth birthday, but Nintendo’s little box is still thriving. This includes not downloading files from sources you don’t trust and regularly scanning your computer with antivirus software, if you’re using any. If you’re using a build with an MSI motherboard and an Intel chip, take the usual security measures to stay safe. It’s possible that it opened the door to the creation of malware that can skip right past Intel Boot Guard, and that could be dangerous for affected devices.
It’s hard to say precisely how big of an impact this leak might have. It should be noted that Intel BootGuard OEM keys are generated by the system manufacturer, and these are not Intel signing keys.” There have been researcher claims that private signing keys are included in the data, including MSI OEM Signing Keys for Intel BootGuard. In a statement to Bleeping Computer, Intel said: “Intel is aware of these reports and actively investigating. Matrosov claims that Intel Boot Guard may now be ineffective on some of Intel’s best processors, including Tiger Lake, Alder Lake, and Raptor Lake chips running on MSI-based devices. If threat actors gain access to these keys, they might be able to create powerful malware that’s capable of bypassing Intel’s security measures. The fact that it’s now compromised makes this as much Intel’s problem as it is MSI’s. Intel Boot Guard prevents the loading of malicious firmware on Intel hardware. MSI refused to give in and didn’t pay the ransom, and unfortunately, the hacker gang followed through and started leaking the firmware source code of MSI’s motherboards.Īccording to Alex Matrosov, the CEO of Binarly, a security platform, the source code may have contained some really sensitive information, such as Intel Boot Guard private keys for 116 MSI products.
