Intel Security (McAfee) Releases Rootkit Scanner Following Vault 7 CIA Leak

Intel Security released a scanner that can identify hidden EFI firmware rootkits. The CIA was working on two EFI rootkit projects at the time of the WikiLeaks Vault 7 dump. The new scanner is a module for Intel’s CHIPSEC security suite. Intel Security sold the majority stake in Intel Security to TPG in September 2016. As part of the deal, TPG got the rights to use the old McAfee brand, and Intel will receive $3.1 billion from TPG.
