I wonder if this is why there's so many "vulnerabilities" in Intel CPUs?
- apfsx 7y agoWithin the past 10 years I've lost my sense of even the slightest security. Not as if that security ever existed in the first place, just that I was much less aware of the possibilities. I feel like the vulnerabilities that we've seen on Intel CPU's is just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe within a decade or two we'll see that no Intel CPU was ever safe and high level agencies have literally since the beginning had access to these vulnerabilities. I mean some of the stuff we've seen is terrifying. Malware that infects the Management Engine of the Intel CPU that survives regardless of OS you install or hardware you change? I'm afraid these aren't even 1% of what is and has been capable since the beginning that we don't know about.
