Beyond the Code: The Persistent Threat of Hardware Vulnerabilities | CyberDudeBivash
Author: CyberDudeBivash For years, our cybersecurity conversations have been dominated by software: zero-day exploits, misconfigurations in the cloud, and the endless race to patch application vulnerabilities. We've become experts in securing the digital realm, but in our focus on the intangible, we risk overlooking a more fundamental threat—the physical foundation of our digital world. The latest cybersecurity news, including the recent disclosure of the Phoenix RowHammer attack (CVE-2025-6202) , serves as a stark reminder: hardware vulnerabilities are not a relic of the past. They are a clear and present danger that can bypass even the most robust software defenses. Why Hardware Vulnerabilities Are a Big Deal Hardware vulnerabilities are so dangerous precisely because of where they reside. Unlike a software bug that can be fixed with a patch, these flaws are baked into the physical components of our systems—from CPUs and memory modules to network cards and storage devices...
