AMD Systems Vulnerability Could Threaten Encrypted Data Protection

There has been an announcement of a new technique for bypassing key security protections used in AMD chips to gain access to the clients of those services. Researchers believe that hackers will be able to spy on clients through physical access to cloud computing environments.

Known as the “badRAM” security flaw, it has been described as a $10 hack that undermines the trust that the cloud has in it. 

This vulnerability was announced on Tuesday. Like other branded vulnerabilities, this vulnerability is being disclosed on a website with a logo and will be explained in a paper to be presented at next May’s IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 2025. 

There is an increasing use of encryption in today’s computers to protect sensitive data in their DRAM, especially in shared cloud environments with multiple data breaches and insider threats, which are commonplace. The Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) technology of AMD enables users to protect privacy and trust in cloud computing by encrypting the memory of virtual machines (VMs) and isolating them from advanced attackers, including those who compromise critical infrastructure like the virtual machine manager and firmware, which is a cutting-edge technology. 

According to researchers, AMD’s Secure Encrypted Virtua
