Some Windows 10 Devices Still Exposed to DMA Attacks That Can Steal BitLocker Keys

Windows 10 and 8.1 PCs could be vulnerable to Direct Memory Access (DMA) attacks. Microsoft introduced protections against DMA attacks in Windows 8 and Windows 10. Microsoft admitted last week that older, non-PCI buses such as 1394 and CardBus are still vulnerable. An upcoming Windows 10 Insiders Build version will include a patch that will improve the protection against such attacks. Security expert Sami Laiho demoed one such attack via a FireWire port at the Microsoft Ignite conference last year.
