With the resources they have, and these unique findings AI has helped them discover, they should now be in the ideal position to rapidly correct this deficiency in their own bootloader, so that nobody will ever need to use Grub again.
With this level of expertise, now enhanced by AI, and so much effort already behind them so far, it shouldn't take much to push this over the finish line, provided they have an effective enough organization when it comes to enhancing the security of PC users overall. After all, they don't even have to worry about addressing Macs.
I know the engineers are brilliant enough by far, and with nothing holding them back, we should be able to expect a minor revision of of the NT bootloader like this to be arriving any day now.
According to what I see in the article, this would be one of the most timely & useful security patches to show up on Windows Update, I hope they don't drop the ball on this one.
Patch Tuesday is next week but they seem so close they could probably push this critical correction out before that, so watch for it :)
Gee, how clever and thoughtful.
When does Microsoft open their source for searching vulnerabilities?
And btw, not that long ago it was released by researchers than more than 200 platforms from diverse but main laptops and servers manufacturers were still using leaked keys for signing their boot loaders...
Odd. I wonder if the article was written by AI.
Makes me trust open source operating systems more!
