UEFI Trust & Secure Boot Issue

We explore the UEFI certificate issue in which secure boot is potentially compromised. Certificates that are included in most UEFI BIOSes have been compromised in ways that could easily be used as an attack vector, a very significant flaw and something that should be on your purview and radar to fix and patch.
