Aihe: Re: [Tails-dev] memory wipe at shutdown # of wipes

Interesting.... Are there any plans
to wipe the controller memory for Li-ion batteries? I remember reading of a
battery firmware hack by Charles Miller at Blackhat. Seems to be an ideal place
to hide exfiltrated data (or malware) if there's writable memory since there's
always some power. I think this is the most obvious hardware threat to TAILS,
especially if it's an internal
battery.
