12th generation Intel processors the one who… by Alder Lake Various source codes have surfaced on the internet. In this 2.9 GB file BIOS It is claimed that sensitive information such as data It is not yet known exactly what the contents of the file shared on GitHub are.

Resembling BIOS or Alder Lake-S The information about the chipsets of the processors makes up the bulk of the file. If this leak is real, many secrets have also been revealed that Intel engineers would probably want to keep to themselves. For the time being, there is no information about a data breach in the file. However Trusted Platform Module If the source codes of such a structure have emerged, a much more serious problem can arise.

It’s not the first, and it won’t be the last

Really NVIDIA, AMD and Gigabyte We have recently seen companies like hackers become targets of hackers. at NVIDIA early 2022 came forward with a similar leak. This leak has revealed the source codes, documents and model names that the brand will use in the future. In the latest incident, it is unknown whether the source of the leak is Intel or another OEM manufacturer.

Do leaky source codes pose a threat to users?

The possibility that the source codes were “partially” leaked from a third-party source rather than from Intel’s database immediately raises the possibility that the magnitude of the threat may be smaller than expected. However, if the source codes of the Alder Lake processors were indeed leaked from Intel, then the vulnerabilities in the processors could fall directly into the hands of hackers. Therefore, Alder Lake users, new ransomware attack or similar attacks.

A statement from Intel has not yet been released. This content will also be updated when clarification is forthcoming.
