They're talking about potential backdoors, perhaps guised as misconfiguration. Later vPro versions would connect back to a VPN. You shouldn't just trust Intel

You shouldn't just trust Intel that it doesn't respond to network access if you tell it to nicely.
- Zancarius 5y agoI agree. I don't want to rehash it here, but if you look at my reply to your sibling, you'll get a better insight into my reasoning. Basically the TL;DR version is that there are some absolutely asinine conspiracists who literally think that government agencies can extract all of their data while the computer is powered off using IME/AMT. Obviously, there's a lot more to it, but I do agree that I don't trust Intel, and IME/AMT are dangerous. I'd link one of the posts I ran into that made this claim, but I don't really want to give the idiots who peddle this garbage any more exposure than necessary, because they appear to be into the 5G "mind control" conspiracies as well. No, I'm not kidding.
