A processor that cannot be hacked has been identified

Several years ago, researchers from the University of Michigan announced an unhackable computer

Morpheus processor.The US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) decided to test the processor: it gathered more than 500 of the best cybersecurity experts and they tried to hack Morpheus. However, they failed.

Morpheus was designed to rebuild key segments of its code and data dozens of times per second, making any vulnerability a dummy for hackers.

The Morpheus hack was part of the Finding programExploits to Thwart Tampering (FETT), organized by DARPA, the US Department of Defense and the Synack platform. Participants also had to hack similar solutions developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Cambridge, Lockheed Martin and the non-profit technical institute SRI International.

Only Morpheus survived the trials.One expert acknowledged that today's approach to fixing security bugs one at a time is a losing game. With Morpheus, even if a hacker discovers a bug, the information needed to exploit it disappears within milliseconds.
