Maybe then we'll see companies that take security seriously, thinking twice before they include things like ME in their products.
- k_sze 9y agoI'm afraid this won't be enough. If it doesn't hurt the shareholders' and creditors' bottom line, corporate behavior is unlikely to change. You need an event like the government banning Intel ME from their agencies, or the shareholders' bank accounts getting hacked due to this bug. I'm not suggesting that anybody do that - that's illegal - I'm just cynical about wealthy people in those positions.
- Terr_ 9y agoRight -- there are so many problems with boil down to a broken chain of liability. I mean, just look at the Equifax blow-up, and how companies have rebranded "someone stole from us because of our shitty authentication" into "someone stole your identity, good luck with that."
