That’s not a hard proof, people keep saying Intel ME and AMD PSP are potential backdoors ( key word: potential ) and this argument is good if we’re arguing about: which is the best ISA, an Open ISA ( RiscV ) or closed ISA ( x86 )
I was asking for a general example, I know that Mediatek chips included a backdoor but I only found one article that talked about it … In french…
Mobos : I think it’s MSI ( I could be wrong ) that installed a piece of software through a Bios update, which showed they have privileged remote access capabilities ( I couldn’t find that source, sorry )
Another example would be ASUS and Gigabyte Mobos, now the initial source says it came from the second hand resellers, but no one confirmed that… which is scary… because that would mean it came straight from ASUS and/or Gigabyte
I was asking for incidents that you came across that could demonstrate the presence of firmware backdoors, saying having too many bugs is not a good argument, because all software has bugs.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I knew that the backdoors that appear in Windows were designed by someone. I didn’t know they were this brazen.
chips too
Yeah, when the actual mobo and cpu can be taken over remotely, what does the OS even matter?
Examples ?
exploits regularly found in AMD and intel consumer chips
didn’t apple chips get spotted with a vulnerability also? m2s?

Oh boy i remember when i was this innocent
I’m not innocent, but this is unbelievable, that they would ask the main developer to plant a virus in it!! This is really rude
He is lucky he is no a US national… that convo could have gone down differently. People telling US spooks no, don’t live long.
of all the things the nsa has done this is probably the nicest
