Well it was only a matter of time before this happened:
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/01/intel_amt_me_ vulnerability/
It's been there since the dawn of the Core series Intel CPUs... I wonder
how long the three letter agencies have known about this.
Give it a few more days for the Canvas/Metasloit modules to emerge and
I'll take you up on that challenge of compromising at least some of the
bitlocker-protected Windows machines Simon :]
Not that Linux ones would be safe either.
The only good news is that your home PC probably, maybe, perhaps doesn't
have support for this baked into the silicon. The bad news is that all
Intel business class machines (including servers) most definitely do.
This one is really, really bad news.
Cheers
