> The APT28 cyber-espionage group (also tracked as Sednit, Fancy Bear, Strontium, and Sofacy), for instance, used a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) rootkit dubbed LoJax as part of its 2018 operations.

So if you build a huge complex thing when a small simple one would do and then completely ignore security it will be hacked? Who could have known?

I don't think any tpm and dtrm magic can fix the issue as long as uefi is there with its huge attack surface


Will sec-core also block Linux from booting?
