Intel Hit by a Devastating Data Breach, Chip Designs, Code, Possible Backdoors Leaked

[zlobby]

This leak is likely going to give Intel more headaches with security going forward.

Yes, it will really put a stain on their otherwise flawless reputation.

The question is. Why a back door ? And why 9/11

Why would that be a question? Seriously, backdoors are planted to ease the access to systems/data held by owners who don't want access to their systems/data by others. And 9/11 suggest it has to do with counter-terrorism instead of commercial/industrial espionage. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't one of the biggest hits of Snowden the proof that NSA was involved in industrial espionage against private companies of "ally" nations in favour of american companies?

Surprised? These backdoors are there on purpose. NWO, Satan and those that serve him are hard at work to control every aspect of your being.

Sadly, I am not; most will happily accept their new "matrix" and ridicule those that point out the truth, the truth which can be found within the Bible.

John 13:19
King James Version (KJV)

“Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.”

Read these verses, the signs of the times, does this look familiar today?:

Matthew 24
2 Timothy 3
2 Peter 3

With all due respect sir but this is slightly over the board. It's a data breach not a battle between good and evil.

AMD should donate them a few EPYC servers to improve their security.

With all do respect sir but this is slightly over the board. It's a data breach not a battle between good an evil.

I think we can credit solomonians with the invention of afterlife coupons.

No thanks, i think you may be lost as to what century this is. The year is 2020, it mostly sucks, the bible and its plagiarized fictions are uninvolved in the human stupidity of someone setting a password as dumb as Intel123 on 'secure' files.

Edit: its less clear now, but this was a reply to someones low quality 'hidden' post

Intel123, the new but this time real 666

Oh and for context other outlets reported the passwords literally were Intel123 and intel123, hence my comments

When you work with the Avengers, Hydra isn't so far behind...

Intel Preparing Avengers Branded "KA" Processors

Intel became the official PC hardware partner for the PC version of Marvel's Avengers last year and it seems like Intel is looking to take advantage of that with new limited edition "KA" Avengers series processors. Trusted leaked @momomo_us recently discovered listings for several of these Intel...

There are serious problems with engineering "backdoors" into software and hardware.

The first is hackers. They are always looking for that next sweet magic exploit and when one is found...

The second is liability. No company wants to be liable for the PR shit-storm and legal nightmare, not to mention that not all governments play nice together and so on.

The idea of officially deliberate backdoors is sheer lunacy. Now the idea of "accidental" or "unintentional" backdoors "engineered" into software/hardware by government operatives embedded within Intel... Far more plausible... And very difficult to prove...

 

[efikkan]

The poster encourages downloaders to look for mentions of 'backdoors' in some of the Intel source code, and even provides a sample clip of one such listing, but we aren't sure of the intentions behind the listings in the code.

=========================

Are Intel engineers really that dump and marked "backdoors" in the actual code ?

Adding backdoors is inherently stupid, as they are bound to get leaked or figured out some day. But who would be stupid enough to mark it in the source code? Thousands of engineers will see this code over the years, who would trust all of them to keep a big secret like this?

And why is the poster encouraging people to look for mentions of "backdoors" in the code? Exactly how many seconds does it take to search for that string?

This leak is likely going to give Intel more headaches with security going forward.

Why?
Anything relying on obscurity is not secure in the first place.

This stuff proves there is something seriously wrong with Intel. Maybe after all of this some changes are in order? I surely hope so.

What precisely proves what specifically?
The fact that something got leaked, or something in the leak?

I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen all the time. With thousands of engineers working on specs and code, it's impossible to keep full control over the data without hampering development.

I thought I'd seen it all, but apparently a thread about Intel can even descend into misquoting scripture and the end of times. I don't know where TPU draws the line on blasphemy, but this might be threading into dangerous territories.

 

[SIGSEGV]

No wonder jim keller left intel. He feels insecure working at Intel.

 

[W1zzard]

Are these just tools used by intel partners to develop products that work with intel cpus/chipsets, etc?

Yup looks similar to what i see with my gpuz developer nda

Because they are Porsche fans? Porsche's come with the engine bay at the back.

Intel 10900KSP (P for Porsche edition)

Why would that be a question? Seriously, backdoors are planted to ease the access to systems/data held by owners who don't want access to their systems/data by others. And 9/11 suggest it has to do with counter-terrorism instead of commercial/industrial espionage.

I have no idea about that. Backdoor entries may be vulnerable to everyone then

Porsche invented this underboost-turbo combination with gt2, that maybe are targetted for r&d at Intel.

I never saw this coming!

If there is a backdoor, bingo. Counterterrorism claims is what got the bill signed.

About my take away from it too. Someone wants to make this a lot more than it is, and is succeeding.

 

[Kohl Baas]

Yes it is. But finding backdoors and vulnerabilities is hard and time consuming. On the other hand if you know about it from the get go... And that is the main cause of why all the great powers opposing the USA is making their own (obviously inferrior) CPUs and detaching governing and military institutions from the internet, creating their own intranet. They don't want any of those backdoorsin their systems.

Yes and with the Code of Business Conduct that every employee must sign to keep confidential information for himself while working with it is nothing so the confidential info should be floating around internet like it was just another day on the beach for you? So yeah, for me, it proves that there is something wrong in Intel's ranks because this shouldn't have happened ever.

, for me, it proves that there is something wrong in Intel's ranks because this shouldn't have happened ever.

If i download everything from my nda account and post it, it’s Intel’s fault?

you can know only if you downloaded them no?
