Researchers have identified a new malware strain, HybridPetya, which combines features of Petya and NotPetya and can bypass UEFI Secure Boot protections. The malware exploits CVE-2024-7344 in the Howyar Reloader UEFI application, allowing it to deploy persistent UEFI payloads and encrypt the Master File Table. While not yet observed in the wild, HybridPetya represents a significant escalation in bootkit threats and highlights the need for robust UEFI security practices.
