In case you are wondering, this technique probably doesn't work against security-hardened chips. But other might, like what nation-states can afford. "More security-focused mircocontrollers like the ones used in hardware security modules (HSM) to store encryption keys, trusted platform modules (TPM), and SIM-cards have have hardened chipsets to make these invasive attacks more challenging, Davidov said. They have countermeasures such as protective shielding and an active mesh layer to detect when a trace has been cut. Light sensors, when tripped, could automatically destroy all stored secrets if the chip powered on after the molding component was removed. While there are ways to bypass these features, they require extremely specialized equipment and 'significant investment.'"[1] [1] https://duo.com/decipher/new-diy-method-researchers-recover-data-hardware-chips https://duo.com/decipher/new-diy-method-researchers-recover-...
