Eclypsium’s research team has identified BIOS/UEFI vulnerabilities in a popular DNA gene sequencer made by Illumina, a leading genomics and healthcare technology vendor. More specifically, we found that the Illumina iSeq 100 used a very outdated implementation of BIOS firmware using CSM mode and without Secure Boot or standard firmware write protections. This would allow […]
