The fact that random companies like Crowdstrike have kernel drivers in millions of computers they they ship remotely is a security risk in and of itself. We're lucky crowdstrike just shipped a bug that crashes computers, other companies could have shipped a lot worse.
other ~~companies~~ governments could have shipped a lot worse.
FTFY
other ~~companies~~ governments ~~could have~~ may have already shipped a lot worse.
FTFY (high five!)
I'd swap may out for probably TBH.
I HATE UEFI I HATE UEFI I HATE UEFI
So say, we all.
Why do you hate UEFI? Do you hate security?
Oh yeah, I really hate security. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/07/researchers-unpack-unkillable-uefi-rootkit-that-survives-os-reinstalls/
Sure, there are vulnerabilities. But UEFI offers features such as secure boot, which BIOS doesn't. Also, its nice being able to boot from drives larger then 2tb.
Not saying BIOS is better.
