Major SSD security flaw lets attackers bypass encryption
Radboud University has discovered a significant security flaw in self-encrypting solid state drives.
According to the research, an attacker with access to the self-encrypting drive’s manual can use a built-in default master password to gain access to a user’s encrypted password, bypassing the drive’s encryption regardless of the strength of the victim’s password.
