Goodacre catalogues this and related scenarios in a 37-page risk assessment prepared for CISOs evaluating Intel vPro hardware connected to corporate networks. Its conclusion is blunt: connecting an untouched-ME device to corporate resources "exposes the organization to a class of compromise that defeats the host security stack in its entirety."

I hear a lot of concern about backdoors in Chinese hardware but this is just dystopian.

I'm convinced that all the "China is tracking you!!" is a giant deflection for how much the US is tracking.

They have always been the worst offender, and Snowden was only a warning for something that has been going on for many years.
