More Information
Summary:In an embodiment, a computing device may include a memory device that may be rendered unusable after a certain number of operations are performed on the memory device. The computing device may incorporate one or more techniques for protecting the memory device. Processing logic contained in the computing device may be configured to implement the techniques. The techniques may include, for example, acquiring a request to write or erase information stored in a memory device contained in a first computing device, saving the request for execution after a user visible event has been generated on the first computing device, generating the user visible event on the first computing device, and executing the saved request after the user visible event has been generated. In addition, the techniques may include reporting the request. The request may be reported to, for example, an anti-malware agent.
