It should be noted that this attack was demonstrated on a nearly 10 year old laptop that has the TPM traces exposed on the motherboard.

Most TPMs nowadays are built into the CPU which does not leave them vulnerable to this type of attack.

Too late, Canada's banned Raspberry Pi's already. :(

I don't get the downvoting. This is solid commentary on the Flipper Zero idiocy.

Prolly from people who don’t yet know about the Flipper Canada bullshit hahaha

Its definitely sort or misleading but MS needs to really have its feet held to the fire when it comes to these things. It sort of pushes the narrative in the correct direction which is towards privacy AND security, not a half-ass balance where one or the other or both is compromised or is an illusion altogether

The Outlook stuff has demonstrated how fundamentally irresponsible and unserious they are about their obligation to secure and regulate their own systems, they need all the bad press they can get so they are compelled to do betwr

Because MS designed Lenovo motherboard for them and told them where to put the tpm debug pins? I think you're casting blame at the wrong vendor here.

Doesn't matter how good the software is if the hardware vendor fucks up like that.

They're heavily involved with the development of the spec and guidance to OEMs on how to implement it
