TrickBot adds firmware tool that researchers say could lead to ‘bricking’ devices

The malicious software known as TrickBot has morphed again, this time with a module that probes booting process firmware for vulnerabilities, possibly setting the stage for attacks that could ultimately destroy devices, researchers say. Two cybersecurity companies, Eclypsium and Advanced Intelligence (Advintel), dubbed the TrickBot add-on module “TrickBoot,” since it targets the UEFI/BIOS firmware. Firmware is permanent code programmed into a hardware device, while UEFI and BIOS are two kinds of specifications that manage a device’s start-up. TrickBoot, then, is s a “significant step in the evolution of TrickBot,” the researchers say, that could make TrickBot especially pesty. “Since firmware is stored on the motherboard as opposed to the system drives, these threats can provide attackers with ongoing persistence even if a system is re-imaged or a hard drive is replaced,” they wrote.”Equally impactful, if firmware is used to brick a device, the recovery scenarios are markedly different (and more difficult) than recovery […]
