Re: Annnnnnd....

And exactly why is this anything to do with Intel? It may be an Intel product but the issue is a human problem. I would hope that any IT team working with AMT would have changed the default password. If they have not then they are morons.

This is just the same as leaving the default password on a router when every router has the same one.

At a corporate level they cannot randomise the initial password easily due the overhead to then commission it.
