Even the most highly secured data in the cloud can be compromised, even with a piece of hardware costing just 50 euros. Researchers from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham have discovered this. "The government needs to be careful not to simply push everything to the cloud," they warn.
Battering RAM Exploit Bypasses Modern Protections in Intel, AMD Cloud Processors - Cybernoz - Cybersecurity News
Cloud providers rely on hardware-based memory encryption to keep user data safe. This encryption shields sensitive information like passwords, financial records, and personal files from hackers and curious insiders. Leading technologies such as Intel SGX and AMD SEV-SNP are designed to ensure that even if a cloud host or administrator is compromised, encrypted data remains protected. A new attack called Battering RAM shows these safeguards can b…
$50 Battering RAM Attack Breaks Intel and AMD Cloud Security Protections
A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during startup and passing all trust checks," researchers Jesse De Meulemeester, David Oswald, Ingrid
