[dba-Tech] Microsoft has accidentally leaked the Secret keys for UEFI

[Jim Lawrence]

I just wish Microsoft would stop making these backdoors into their products. They always get discovered. That is why many companies have an aversion to creating backdoors.

Now we will see how long the security holes take to fix and how fast a business hacker can take advantage of the hole. I wonder if Microsoft got information about this potential breach, before it was made public and has already added a fix? I can not believe that there is no fix...

Oh great, Microsoft has accidentally leaked the Secret keys that allow
hackers to unlock devices protected by UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface) Secure Boot feature.
What's even worse? 
It will be impossible for Microsoft to undo its leak.
