Tarnovsky, a researcher at Flylogic Engineering, said he has hacked an Infineon SLE 66 CL PC processor that is also used with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips. He emphasized that his research shows TPM, which was developed as an industry specification for hardware-based computer security by the Trusted Computing Group and has been implemented in hardware by Infineon and other manufacturers, is not as secure as presumed.

Tetris heading to Dish Network Friday, 05 February 2010 10:22 |
Satellite TV provider Dish Network, Oberon Media, and the Tetris Company announced a Tetris TV service today that brings the classic casual game into your living room without the aid of a console. |
Famous smart card hacker Christopher Tarnovsky detailed Tuesday at the Black Hat DC conference how it's possible to subvert the security of a processor used to protect computers, smartcards and even Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming system.
For $2.99 a month, you can play traditional Tetris, Marathon Tetris, and Lines Tetris on your Dish Network Satellite TV. In case you're wondering how much Tetris TV you'd have to play to offset the cost of buying a copy of Tetris and a basic Xbox 360 to play it on, we did the math for you: You'd have to subscribe for a little over six years. Or better yet, you could fire up one of those old FTA receivers that had the Tetris game built in.
