LOGOfail : A new exploitation

[zathros]

Read up on this. There is a good chance that many millions of machines are infected with this, which loads with infected new firmware into the UEFI system. It's a little complicated, you could get it by copying and pasting an infected image from someplace. It is stored outside the hard drive and is undetectable by present programs that we all own. There doesn't seem to be a fix, it was just announced within the last 18 hours, but when and if a Windows, or whatever you use, patch comes up, install it.

It's going to be a while before this is figured out. It will probably be a flashing of the BIOS of the computer motherboard to make sure.
