NVIDIA Hack Worsens, Fake Signatures Approved
by Artie Kaye
NVIDIA was hacked and among the information that hackers obtained was signature data. Though the signatures are older and no longer authorized by NVIDIA, Windows will still recognize them as authentic. This can allow for malware to masquerade as video drivers. The easiest thing would be for Windows to stop recognizing no longer valid signatures, but until that is implemented, anything related to your graphics card drivers needing to be updated, be cautious.
