A German research team has developed a true random number generator that uses an extra layer of randomness by making a computer memory element, a flip-flop, twitch randomly between its two states 1 or 0. Immediately prior to the switch, the flip-Flop is in a metastable state where its behavior cannot be predicted. The attack is the second from the prolific threat group just this week, the agency said the malware has already compromised more than 150 organizations.
