Intel and MSI Private Keys Leaked in Cyber Heist

Private keys used to protect PCs from hidden malware, generated by MSI to use with Intel's BootGuard technology, were leaked when data belonging to MSI was stolen and dumped online. The leaked private keys affect 116 products, hindering the ability for MSI computers to use Intel's BootGuard to block bad, unwanted, or malicious firmware. If miscreants can bypass the BootGuard technology, they could gain full system access, steal sensitive data, and perform all sorts of illicit activities without being noticed as their malware runs underneath the OS and antivirus packages.
