This is more embarrassing than harmful. Having worked at companies like intel, it's not really that damaging leaking some of this IP - the worst that happens is some open source project gets slightly better or you have a few more bugs (not that Intel are lacking in that area). The second we see internal marketing, pricing & road map slides- that's when you know they're in real trouble.
- dathinab 6y agoNo the worst is it there is some dirt and people find it like: - copyright infringement - patent infringement - actual backdoors (the word backdoor does appear but there are many ways how it can already without they being a backdoor got spying including bad naming sense of engineers and code used during prototyping only
- kps 6y ago> Having worked at companies like intel I've worked at a company very much like Intel¹ and the really closely guarded secret — the one where two vetted people turn the launch key at the same time — was the microcode patching keys. ¹ I'm not saying it was Intel, but it was Intel
- dgellow 6y ago> the worst that happens is some open source project gets slightly better If anyone is reading this is working on open source projects that would benefits from what has been leaked: stay far away from such a leak. The last thing you want is your open source project to be accused of copyright or patent infringement.
