The Intel AMT firmware vulnerability is much more serious than previously reported. From Security Week:
Exploitable Details of Intel's 'Apocalyptic' AMT Firmware Vulnerability Disclosed
Details of the Intel AMT firmware vulnerability announced on May 1, 2017 are now public knowledge; and the suggestion that 'this is somewhere between nightmarish and apocalyptic' has been proven correct.
One day after Intel's alert, Embedi (the firm that discovered the vulnerability back in February this year) published a brief note. One particular sentence stood out to researchers at Tenable: "With 100 percent certainty it is not an RCE but rather a logical vulnerability."
The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
