What happened and what to do

Published on May 27, 2026, the post presents a series on dumping, reverse engineering, and modifying HDD and SSD firmware. It also mentions JTAG debugging and offers engineers an overview of these techniques; it does not report specific test results.

For a company that relies on storage devices, a practical response is to map the models and firmware versions in use, set controls for procurement and updates, and establish evaluation procedures in an isolated lab. The consultancy can help diagnose exposure and design suitable monitoring and security processes, without changing production firmware before validation.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can diagnose device and firmware exposure, define an assessment scope, and implement inventory, monitoring, and update and response processes. The engagement is scoped to the client's environment and objectives.
