PKFail bug puts firmware security at risk

Researchers said that a years-old security leak is putting a number of production model PCs at risk of persistent remote takeover. The team at Binarly said that the issue, known as PKfail, is exposing the private keys for a number of motherboard firmware builds and, as a result, leaving systems exposed to low-level malware attacks that would not be detectable to OS-level antimalware protections.
