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

Intel is the best!

All of Intel's "features" are essentially backdoors for governments and George Soros type billionaires who want to control you and your family!

No, anything but my family!

Wait, there is more?

I always thought the revealed cpu vulnerabilities were targeted at hurting Intel, and now this has happened, fuel is added to the fire. Intel has peed someone off and they not relenting.

 

[R-T-B]

Wait, there is more?

Yes, there is Jeff Bezos.

You forgot the /s did you?

 

[mtcn77]

Yes, there is Jeff Bezos.

Don't you slander jeff bezos and bill gates. I like em.

 

[R-T-B]

Don't you slander jeff bezos and bill gates.

Jeff Bezos is in a different billionaire class than ol' Billy Gates.

Almost certainly the "Intel123" password stems from an arbitrary corporate policy that any archives shared with third parties are password-protected so that, in the case of such a leak, there isn't a single password that can access all the archives.

Of course, because keeping track of a billion different passwords is a fucking nightmare, the end result is predictably that everyone uses the same stupidly weak password for everything. So the policy, like pretty much all policies that involve passwords, ends up having no effect besides pissing people off.



People are still getting triggered by Internet comments about their imaginary sky deities in 2020? Wow.



What a moronic "argument". How many functional quantum computers are there, again?

Ppl need to use stuff like lastpass or another password generator if they aren't creative enough to come up with good passwords

You have struck paths with the wrong crowd fella. The road ahead is not where you are going.

Bezos isn't as bad as gates.. ec2 is more secure than windows and that's saying that while plugging my nose

Yeah but even their RND instructuons are flawed, so it's a moot point.

You can buy windows from Amazon but you can't buy Amazon from Windows.

What a dumpster fire.

The weird thing is that the world at large doesn't seem to care. It's just us techs that seem to have noticed this but outside of us the major news outlets seem oblivious.

Or better yet... BitWarden. It's open source!

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

That seems to contain more logic than Intel put into it's security.

Nice. Now I'm kind of happy I don't have any Intel stock anymore. Also, I'm curious if the next Lenovo X2x0 will have an AMD option. Not a tinfoil thing, I don't have any strategic data, but AMD's laptop stuff seems to be getting reasonably good so maybe it's time.

I got a better one. - How do you change the water pump on a porsche? You take out the engine.

I have a friend who is very paranoid. They were wondering if you receive orders to implement RATs or other malicious tools under the disguise of otherwise popular and legitimate software.

Never got any such requests, unless you consider adware/toolbars as such. Not interested. And „orders“ lol i live in Germany, i actually have rights

 

[R-T-B]

i actually have rights

Send some to me when you get the chance, I miss mine.

Just invoke the 5th?

 

[R-T-B]

Just invoke the 5th?

As a frog, I'd probably just get squished.
