GreenTec-USA Solution Would Prevent Sony Attacks and Ransomware

15 August 2022

The Press Release of a hacker’s technological breakthrough by figuring out how to lodge malicious software in the obscure code on disk drives is viewed by cybersecurity experts as the second-most valuable real estate on a PC for a hacker, second only to the BIOS code invoked automatically as a computer boots up.

GreenTec-USA, in cooperation with Seagate Technologies, developed a secure electronic information storage product breakthrough referred to as the WORMdisk™, which cannot be re-flashed, overwritten, reformatted, deleted, or otherwise changed.

The WORMdisk™ functions as a normal HDD with zero performance degradation from its additional built-in capabilities.  The WORMdisk™ is the only HDD of its type available that makes it impossible to alter, modify, edit, re-format or delete data on the disk, the master boot sector, or the on-board technology that controls the disk, regardless of computer operating system or access permissions.

In short, if using WORMdisks, this attack will not work and cannot effect a company’s important data, launch malware to take control of the PC, delete, modify or impair the master boot record or re-flash the firmware. Additionally, other important files such as log files, access permission and user rights cannot be deleted or modified by hackers.
