Re: Closed black box firmware

Actually, IIRC Intel AMT flaws are worse, because to exploit those you do not need:

1) root access

2) any local access at all

The only unusual quality of these new AMD attacks is that they can remain under the radar for a very long time, making "evil maid attack" particularly dangerous.
