(Original title: Intel is in trouble again! Millions of notebooks are spiked)
As if the two Meltdown/Spectre loopholes were not enough, Harry Sintonen, a researcher at Finnish security company F-Secure, discovered a new loophole in the Intel CPU processor, affecting millions of enterprise-class laptops.
The new security flaw exists in the Intel AMT active management technology and can be used by hackers to fully control the user's equipment and complete the intrusion in seconds.
Although you want to exploit this loophole, you must personally get the victim's notebook, but Sintonen still lists it as a high-risk level, because the hacker can use less than 1 minute to control the entire device with loopholes, and then access the same network. remote control.
Furthermore, even if you have set a BIOS password, enabled BitLocker, TPM locking, or installed anti-virus software, you cannot defend it.
Hackers can use the Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) to log in directly using the admin account and the default password so that they can gain complete control over the system, steal data, and implant Trojan horses.
Intel has not yet responded to this.
