Are SD cards subject to this vulnerability in the same way? I'm vaguely aware that there are also security issues with SD card firmware.

- mariusz79 12y agoSD cards have a microcontroller on them, and I believe some card readers use USB bus, so they probably are also vulnerable.
- briandh 12y agoI don't know about "the same way", but Andrew "bunnie" Huang had a cool talk and post about hacking the firmware of SD cards and had this to say about security: > om the security perspective, our findings indicate that even though memory cards look inert, they run a body of code that can be modified to perform a class of MITM attacks that could be difficult to detect; there is no standard protocol or method to inspect and attest to the contents of the code running on the memory card’s microcontroller. Those in high-risk, high-sensitivity situations should assume that a “secure-erase” of a card is insufficient to guarantee the complete erasure of sensitive data. Therefore, it’s recommended to dispose of memory cards through total physical destruction (e.g., grind it up with a mortar and pestle). http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=3592 http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=3592
