Print in the Channel | Check out this recent piece from Print in the Channel featuring thoughts from Tony Moor, IOActive Senior Director of Silicon Lab Services. Tony gives insights on rising cyber threats, key differences between MFPs and standalone scanners, and the crucial steps resellers and businesses must take to protect sensitive data and networks.  … “Tony Moor, senior director of Silicon Lab Services for IOActive, adds: “In general PCs, servers and networking hardware would naturally be prioritised above more ‘passive’ hardware like printers…

Tom’s Hardware | Check out this article from Tom’s Hardware highlighting IOActive’s recent win for ‘Extracting antifuse secrets from RP2350 by FIB/PVC’ during the RP2350 Hacking Challenge hosted by Raspberry Pi. “Data bits stored in the RP2350’s OPT memories, based on antifuses, were extracted using a well-known semiconductor failure analysis technique leveraging passive voltage contrast (PVC) with a focused ion beam (FIB). IOActive’s five-strong team reckons their unique attack vector is potent enough to apply to other systems using antifuse memory for confidentiality. Organizations…

Forbes | IOActive researchers recently applied a new technique during the RP2350 Hacking Challenge hosted by Raspberry Pi. This Forbes article highlights our team’s research, which secured a win during the challenge for “Extracting antifuse secrets from RP2350 by FIB/PVC.” … “The fully-invasive antifuse memory reading technique we demonstrated with the example RP2350 can very likely be utilized against other types of antifuse memories,” IOActive’s senior vice president of research and strategy, John Sheehy, told me, “which are frequently used to store small amounts…

Popular Science | Josep Pi Rodriguez, IOActive Principal Consultant, recently featured his discovery of a technique to ‘jailbreak’ digital license plates in this piece from Popular Science. “… Cybersecurity researchers at from IOActive have demonstrated how a similar type of sleight of hand can potentially be performed in the real-world by hacking a popular brand of new digital driver’s license plates. By using a “fault injection” hardware attack, the researches have shown how a hacker could, hypothetically at least, essentially

WIRED | IOActive’s Josep Pi Rodriguez, Principal Security Consultant, was recently featured in a Wired article, ‘Hackers Can Jailbreak Digital License Plates to Make Others Pay Their Tolls and Tickets,’ where he discussed a technique that he discovered to “”jailbreak” digital license plates sold by Reviver, the leading vendor of those plates in the US with 65,000 plates already sold.” “That susceptibility to jailbreaking, Rodriguez points out, could let drivers with the license plates evade any system that depends on license plate numbers for enforcement…
