Researchers from ESET discovered a new stealthy Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) bootkit, named BlackLotus, that is able to bypass Secure Boot on Windows 11.
Secure Boot is a security feature of the latest Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.3.1 designed to detect tampering with boot loaders, key operating system files, and unauthorized option ROMs by validating their digital signatures. “Detections are blocked from running before they can attack or infect the system specification.”
