Intel chips hide a mysterious technology that can be used to steal information
These are the data that these researchers have shared. Although so far there is still a lot of data to know about this technology. In addition to not knowing the reason why it is in them.
Problems for Intel?
When it was being investigated, it could be seen that something was hidden in the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) of the Intel motherboards. Also in the main processor. Something was hidden that was responsible for uniting them into a single system. The brain worker has been named VISA, and he is the one who allows spies to have access to most of the information stored in the computer's memory. Also to information generated by peripherals.
At first it was thought that VISA was used to look for flaws in the brand's chips. Although this research shows that it can also be used to obtain data. Something that can certainly be a great possibility for hackers or spies.
Typically, VISA is disabled on Intel chips for commercial use. However, it has been confirmed that researchers have been able to activate it. So it is something that spies or pirates could do. For now, the company has not reacted.
