Flaws in Popular SSDs Let Attackers Bypass Disk Encryption

This is discovered by researchers recently.

Here, let’s see how hackers bypass disk encryption and what users should do.

SED Vulnerabilities

And this security flaw only affects SSDs with hardware-based encryption.

Such devices are well known as self-encrypting drives (SEDs) that are popular now.

Additionally, another flaw is also discovered by researchers.

In fact, the problems reported are much deeper than researchers initially realized, especially for Windows users.

This is because of the default behavior of Windows BitLocker.
