On March 28, Positive Technologies experts Maxim Goryachy and Mark Ermolov spoke at the Black Hat conference in Singapore about a new technology in Intel chipsets and processors. The technology allows reading data from the memory and intercepting the peripherals' signals. Although Intel VISA is disabled by default on commercial systems, the experts found several ways to activate the technology.

for anyone that doesnt understand
intel basicly lets their tier 0 ring debug program on their motherboards intact

This isn't ring 0 or even ring -1, this is hardware level.

This is what Intel does, and people avoid Huawei and Supermicro because "chinese gubmint". I'm not defending chinks, but just think about this for a second: What do chinks have to gain with stealing your info, and what does USA and Israel government have?
Next time you shit on Huawei, take a shit on your Intel desktop/laptop too

>The experts analyzed the technology with the help of vulnerability INTEL-SA-00086 previously detected by Positive Technologies specialists in the Intel Management Engine subsystem, also integrated in the PCH microchip. This flaw in IME allows hackers to attack the computers, for example by injecting spyware in the subsystem's code. The operating system update is not sufficient to eliminate the problem—a fixed firmware version must be installed.
So what's the effect of this is you have IME neutralized? Maybe I misread it but it seems like the way to exploit it is to access to the ME first and then activate VISA and escalate to it? Is disabling the ME sufficient as a workaround? I just want a laptop that isn't riddled with exploits, fuck you Intel.

No one with half a brain didn't doubt that they did this too retard. Snowden revealed that there were hardware level backdoors on every piece of tech in the modern computer.
You probably think Linux makes you secure too.

Don't accuse until it's proven. Linux and AMD seem decent enough

damn this is real?
so when did they leak that trump was spied on by intel?
or was OP kill?
