You ain’t seen nothing yet, believe researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) : A next phase of more sophisticated viruses may not only exist in software, but may be deeply embedded in hardware, or what the scientists describe as "malicious circuits". But if researchers from UIUC are right, then malware authors with enough resources could be setting a new stage for their game : Sam King, assistant professor in the department of Computer Science, and his colleagues said they were able to design "malicious circuits" : According to a report published by the New Scientist, about 1000 malicious circuits were added to a 1.7-million open source... The project claims that it was able to exploit the "malicious" design to bypass not only the security controls in Leon3 and fly under the radar of anti-virus software, but to access passwords and other critical information on other computers when the FPGA was connected to them as well.
