Windows8 system is now high-risk vulnerabilities may cause hardware damage

  
Microsoft's highly valued operating system products Windows 8, a recent explosion will likely cause hardware-level damage.
The security mechanisms in Windows 8 can block attacks on the operating system and drive hackers to develop malware that directly infects the hardware. McAfee mentioned this in its 2012 security forecast. The advancement of the Windows 8 boot loader security mechanism has led researchers to show how to invade the system through the traditional BIOS.
At the same time, Intel is developing its unified extended firmware interface, which enforces secure boot, which further forces hackers to develop malware that can circumvent new protections. As mobile devices gain more applications on funds for payment and multiple types of information transmission, attacks on such devices are still receiving more attention. In order to better control the mobile device, the attacker will use the root permission tool, which is often used by consumers to add new features to the phone. In addition, virtual currency trading will suffer more attacks next year, because the places where the exchanges occur are public and unencrypted, making them ideal targets for Trojan attacks.
