The world’s first unkillable UEFI bootkit for Linux

https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/11/found-in-the-wild-the-worlds-first-unkillable-uefi-bootkit-for-linux/

By infecting the firmware that runs immediately before the operating system loads, these UEFI bootkits continue to run even when the hard drive is replaced or reformatted. Now the same type of chip-dwelling malware has been found in the wild for backdooring Linux machines.

Thank-you Intel

“Bootkitty” is likely a proof-of-concept, but may portend working UEFI malware for Linux.
