A new malware is infecting Gigabyte motherboards – and there likely won't be a fix any time soon

Cybersecurity ensures data protection on internet. Data encryption, firewall, encrypted network, VPN, secure access and authentication defend against malware, hacking, cyber crime and digital threat.

• Many Gigabyte motherboards reached EOF and thus won't be patched

UEFI firmware on dozens of Gigabyte motherboards is vulnerable to a handful of flaws which theoretically allow threat actors to deploy bootkits on compromised devices, establish stubborn persistence and execute additional malicious code remotely, experts have warned.
