A better article to look at might be this: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/02/12/intel_sgx_hacked/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/02/12/intel_sgx_hacked/ What it boils down to: Intel SGX is for Digital Restrictions Management software to run "securely" and prevent the user and owner from interfering with as an actively hostile act against ownership. However, since the SGX enclave is not analyzable by the user by design, since it designed to be hostile to the user and owner, malware can easily hide here. The proof is that they can load malware into the protected SGX area, then escape the supposed sandbox of SGX to attack the rest of the user's system. Since SGX software is, again, fundamentally hostile to the user and the owner, malware can reek havok once it gets to play inside the user-hostile workspace Intel has provided to the copyright cartel.
