From one of my previous replies:

Nothing you just said is relevant in that context. Yes, obviously anything can be easily compromised if it's targeted. I said as much in the very same post.
Automated bulk analysis exists to find targets in the first place.
- zdkl 9y agoI think you're vastly overestimating how complicated it is to do what I'm talking about at scale, but whatever.

Recall Stuxnet and some of its successors were partially reverse engineered, and just recently Intel's Management Engine is being torn apart.
