... They're claiming it came from an NDA'd source of IP that's shared with customers.
Given that it _appears_ like there are backdoors in this Firmware code, we can conclude that if there are such backdoors then they were shared with numerous customers.
That really doesn't improve the optics of the breach.

- moonchild 6y agoAlternately, as others have noted, it could be overloaded nomenclature and doesn't actually indicate a backdoor. Which would be an excellent reason for them to feel comfortable sharing said 'backdoors' with their customers.
- dathinab 6y agoIt it is actually a backdoor but only gets put on prototypes/engineering samples or similar. Or maybe some well documented Intel management features need to backdoor there own security mechanisms to work. Or ... Well the point is it's a starting point for someone dissecting the data but not much more.
