BIOS "Rootkit" Preloaded In 60% of New Laptops 236
Posted by kdawson on Friday July 31 2009, @11:45AM
from the hijacking-lojack dept.

Keldrin_1 writes "Researchers Alfredo Ortega and Anibal Sacco, from
Core Security Technologies, have discovered a vulnerability in the
'Computrace LoJack for Laptops' software. This is a BIOS-level
application that calls home for instructions in case the laptop is ever
lost or stolen. However, what the application considers 'home' is
subject to change. This allows the creation of malware capable of
'infecting the BIOS with persistent code that survive reboots and
reflashing attempts.' Computers from Dell, Lenovo, HP, Toshiba, Asus,
and others may be affected."
