On Tuesday, an international team of researchers unveiled BadRAM, a proof-of-concept attack that completely undermines security assurances that chipmaker AMD makes to users of one of its most expensive and well-fortified microprocessor product lines. Starting with the AMD Epyc 7003 processor, a feature known as SEV-SNP—short for Secure Encrypted Virtualization and Secure Nested Paging—has provided the cryptographic means for certifying that a VM hasn’t been compromised by any sort of backdoor installed by someone with access to the physical machine running it.

    If someone breaks into your home and shits your pants then they might be able to make you smell like shit.

      Legit question: is the “he/she shits your pants” expression and generally shit verbiage own vogue or something?

      I have to ask because I keep seeing it and I’m pretty sheltered from corporate social media (and probably larger Internet cultural trends overall).

        It’s been a meme for a while I think. If I had to guess I’d say it started with some Tumblr thread. Obviously not entirely suitable for normal-speak, which is why it’s on lemmy instead of a workplace slack channel.
