Old Gigabyte motherboards face Secure Boot threat—and not all will be fixed If your desktop has a Gigabyte motherboard paired with an Intel processor from the 8th to 11th generation era (that’s Coffee Lake through Rocket Lake), you may be at risk from newly discovered UEFI vulnerabilities—and not every system will receive a fix.
