El pequeño chip ATtiny85 no parece ser la próxima gran ciberamenaza a la que se enfrente el mundo, pero colocar uno en una placa base de un firewall sería una mala noticia para la seguridad. De hecho, esto ya sucedió como parte de un proyecto del investigador Monta Elkins, diseñado para demostrar que este tipo […]<img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/TCnFffNVVjA” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>
