Original release date: November 06, 2018
NCCIC is aware of reports of vulnerabilities in the hardware encryption of certain self-encrypting solid-state drives. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to obtain access to sensitive information.
NCCIC encourages users and administrators to review Microsoft's Security Advisory ADV180028 https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US ... /ADV180028 and Customer Notice regarding Samsung SSDs https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/m ... er-notice/ for more information and refer to vendors for appropriate patches and recommendations, when available.

Saw this as well...

Micron is vulnerable too, as are a few others. Also WIndows with bitlocker apparently defaults to the SSD based encryption if it detects it as available for your boot volume, whereas MacOS applies software encryption regardless. However on MacOS there are critical parts of your user directory structure left unencrypted... so it's a tossup on that one.

Isn't security fun!
