Noobs can pwn world's most popular BIOSes in two minutes

Millions of flawed BIOSes can be infected using simple two-minute attacks that don't require technical skills and require only access to a PC to execute.

They will demonstrate attacks against BIOS on Gigabyte, Acer, MSI, HP, and Asus, using the LightEater implant running the privacy-focused Tails platform to siphon GPG keys from memory to a flash chip.

Sorry, I don't let noobs have access to my PC. Not even for two minutes.
