Basically, this is a super-rootkit on a chipset. I told you that the "anti-theft" technology was pure shit.. Also, this is why you need security clearance to work at Intel in US.

Store your old computers kids!

Also, this is why you need security clearance to work at Intel in US.

There are so many unvetted people with the ability to compromise the security of mass market computer systems, it's not even funny. Modern PCs have a huge amount of firmware code that gets very little scrutiny - just check the physical size of your motherboard's onboard flash sometime. If you think it all gets audited you're delusional...
