   Secure Boot is completely broken on 200+ models from 5 big device makers

   Keys were labeled "DO NOT TRUST." Nearly 500 device models use them anyway.

     @arstechnica I would not be surprised (especially given their replies) if the device manufacturers were leaking keys for old systems to force sales of new systems

     @arstechnica Secure Boot is more like a glorified speed bump for the determined. A digital 'Do Not Enter' sign that's about as effective as a cardboard cutout of a guard dog. To be honest, it's almost impressive how many ways Secure Boot can fail to be secure. Almost.
