Millions of Gigabyte motherboards were sold with a potentially dangerous backdoor

Cybersecurity research firm Eclypsium has discovered a potentially dangerous security flaw in the UEFI firmware of millions of Gigabyte motherboards. At least 271 models are said to contain the vulnerability, which could potentially open up a way for criminals to silently install malware on these systems under certain conditions. Both Intel and AMD motherboards from the past several years are affected, including many of the latest products with the Z790 and X670 chipsets.
