Still, if it is, it might allow hackers to alter the boot policy of Intel\u2019s firmware and bypass the company\u2019s hardware-level security measures.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the source of the leak remains unknown, it&#8217;s clear that sensitive information about Intel&#8217;s Alder Lake CPUs has been exposed. This breach might allow attackers to exploit security measures put in place by Intel. If you have discovered a vulnerability in the source code, you can report it to Intel&#8217;s Project Circuit Breaker bug reward program. Depending on the severity of the issue, you could be eligible for a reward of up to $100,000.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After a source code leak was posted by an unidentified third party on 4chan and GitHub last week, the technology giant Intel has confirmed that confidential source code related to its Alder Lake CPUs has been leaked.
