The findings of the study reveal a number of serious security issues, including the use of hard-coded credentials, and an insecure firmware update process. We later managed to extract the firmware from the EEPROM for further static reverse engineering. Further hardware analysis of the circuit board helped us identify chips.

While we were unable to obtain the same results by analyzing the CERT-UA samples, we subsequently identified a different WhiteBlackCrypt sample matching the WhisperKill architecture and sharing similar code. In December we were made aware of a UEFI firmware-level compromise through logs from our firmware scanning technology.
