Conversely, critics of the leak caution against the potential ramifications of publicly exposing sensitive information. There are concerns about the safety of

I remember hearing about that, but I never got around to really looking into it. Can hard drive firmware be infected by data on the disc and/or commands sent over SATA, or is it the kind of attack you need to attach test probes to the controller board or desolder the ROM chip to execute?
well keep in mind that theoretically hdd firmware can hold malware if they get infected
