The MSI data breach might have leaked some very important Intel code

The recent ransomware (opens in new tab) attack on computing giant MSI, which the company said had resulted in, “no significant impact on the business in terms of finances or operations,” actually did have a significant business impact after all.

Following the attack and the subsequent data leak in April 2023, cybersecurity researchers started sifting through the data for interesting tidbits. One such individual, Alex Matrosov, has now taken to Twitter to say that Intel’s BootGuard private keys were probably leaked with the database.
