MSI PUSHES OUT MOTHERBOARD BIOS UPDATES TO TACKLE RECENT SECURITY VULNERABILITIES

MSI, one of the world leading motherboard developers, has been working swift on solutions ever since receiving a formal notice from Intel® stating that the current Intel® microcode version might be subject to recently identified security vulnerabilities.

To ensure any system powered by MSI Z370-series motherboards is operating securely, Intel® and MSI have been working around the clock to prepare updated microcode and release new BIOS updates, which are now available for download. More information from Intel® on the updated microcode can be found here.

MSI strongly recommends its users to update their systems by downloading and applying the latest BIOS. It is recommended to review Intel’s Security Advisory, for more information, including appropriate identification and mitigation measures.
