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.
