Supermicro bug that allows hackers into corporate servers

A new type of Supermicro bug could potentially allow hackers to take down the entire network of computers on corporate servers using ‘virtual USBs’.

Researchers from security firm Eclypsium revealed vulnerabilities in a number of Supermicro baseboard management controllers (BMC). The BMCs allow system admins to do things like load old software onto a server from a CD or upgrade an Operating System (OS) from an image on an external drive, Wired reported.
