Similar Stories to ‘plundervolt’ Attack Breaches Chip Security With A Shock To The System on Bing News

Today’s devices have been secured against innumerable software attacks, but a new exploit called Plundervolt uses distinctly physical means to compromise a chip’s security. By fiddling with the actual amount of electricity being fed to the chip, an attacker can trick it into giving up its innermost secrets. It should be noted at the outset that while this is not a flaw on the scale of Meltdown or Spectre, it is a powerful and unique one and may lead to changes in how chips are designed. There are two important things to know in order to understand how Plundervolt works. The first is simply that chips these days have very precise and complex rules as to how much power they draw at any given time.
