There's one concrete calculation suggesting string theory and the holographic principle are relevant to understanding the flow of information at fl holes.
Strominger and Cumrun Vafa of Harvard have used string theory to calculate the entropy of a fl hole, a measure of its information content.
There's a perfect match between the result of that operation and the entropy that Hawking calculated by using more-traditional concepts of quantum theory 3 decades ago, before string theory was developed.

In M-theory, G2 manifolds play an important role, similar to the role of Calabi-Yau threefolds in String theory.
In particular Calabi-Yau 3-folds with D-branes are equivalent to M-theory backgrounds with G2 holonomy (Atiyah, Maldacena, Vafa).
In this context G2 flop can be used to explain Large N dualities.

Yet the microscopic origin of these quantum states stayed a mystery.
The technology of Dirichlet-branes has now enabled Strominger and Cumrun Vafa of Harvard University to count the number of quantum states in flbranes.
They find an entropy that agrees perfectly with Hawking's prediction, placing another feather in the cap of M-theory.
