A researcher from RAPID7 created a work certificate for concept for a CPU -Ransomware
Such ransomware would continue on a device even after the hard drive had been replaced
Poc will (probably) never see the light of day
A security researcher wrote Ransomware code that infects the computer’s CPU, making it invisible to practically any antivirus program out there, and makes it persistent even when the victim takes out and replaces the computer’s hard drive.
This is according to the register that recently spoke with Christiaan Beek, a Rapid CyberSecurity researcher who claims to have created a proof-of-concept (POC) for such ransomware.
