till now, they probally didnt thought of it that others can reverse engineer theyr firmware, haha..
well, i guess from now on they gonna encrypt theyr firmware, since this will be cheaper or more easy then fixing teh software in the firmware...:p

Still no valuable method to break into a system. If anyone would be at this point of access, one could use more common methods to say "Hello!".
But nice to see a real PoC about it. ... to know what COULD be. ...

When you hack/modify video game code - you get sued for breaking EULA. Maybe they should slap some EULAs onto CPUs and all the other stuff, there will be less articles like this. This "discovery" is basically just noise.

if it wouldnt go public, it might never get fixed..
So, its good when those multi million dollar coperations are forced to fix the Shit they did wrong in teh first place..
wich is, and will be good in the long run..

Fix what? Do you know anyone that uses hardware encryption on consumer ssd? No? Neither do I. Now lets waste companies money and time to fix something no one uses, and hope they don't rise the prices of products.

if you use a Crucial SSD that supports e-Drive its set to Ready state by default so if the UEFI bios and TPM all match up the requirements for MS e-drive bitlocker support it will use the SSD hardware bitlocker mode
samsung E-drive is Not enabled by default you have to go out of your way to press the ready button in samsung magician and then reload windows 10 pro then enable bitlocker for most companies that use a samsung SSD it will be using software bitlocker anyway (or there own storage encryption)
