The fallout continues from the ransomware attack that targeted Nvidia, as it has been discovered that some of the company’s older GPU drivers can now conceal malware. According to TechPowerUp, stolen code-signing certificates are being used to place malware on unsuspecting PCs. This was also confirmed by @BillDemirkapi on Twitter.

In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Ung, Brad Chacos, and Adam Patrick Murray mull reactions to Valve's Steam Deck, malware disguised as a tool to unlock full mining capabilities on Nvidia graphics cards, and a new chiplet standard.

You can witness it all in the video embedded above. You can also watch The Full Nerd episode 208 on YouTube (subscribe to the channel while you're there!) or listen to it on Megaphone.fm if you prefer the audio alone.
