Everything is breakable, everything is able to be decrypted. That is all anyone should learn from this, and it too will become a target for hackers, and will eventually be broken.

Technically false, but true for most practical purposes.

I've checked I see no bios updates for my MSI motherboards or TXE 3.0 security update. I have a Z270 Gaming M7 and Z170A gaming M7 and checked MSI website. Care to clarify?
