First a little bit of background. SemiAccurate has known about this vulnerability for literally years now, it came up in research we were doing on hardware backdoors over five years ago. What we found was scary on a level that literally kept us up at night. For obvious reasons we couldn’t publish what we found out
Yeah, obvious. Just as well they kept their work hidden until after it got exposed by other channels nearly 10 years later, otherwise we might have thought SemiAccurate was fundamentally compromised from the get go and are now trying to cash in on their 10 year old "find". I mean, what scruples, what ... integrity.
