| Titre | Cybercriminals look to exploit Intel ME vulnerabilities for highly persistent implants |
| Texte | Leaked internal chats from the Conti ransomware gang suggests the group has been researching and developing code to compromise the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME), the out-of-band management functionality built into Intel chipsets. The goal of this technique is to install malicious code deep inside computer firmware where it cannot be blocked by operating systems and third-party endpoint security products.Firmware implants are powerful and are usually used in high-value operations by state-sponsored hacker groups. However, over the past couple of years cybercriminal gangs have also shown an interest, with developers of the notorious TrickBot botnet adding an UEFI attack module in 2020. According to new research by security firm Eclypsium, the Conti ransomware group developed proof-of-concept code to exploit Intel ME firmware and gain code execution in System Management Mode, a highly privileged execution environment of the CPU.To read this article in full, please click here |
