" even though a system is operating exactly as it is designed to."

So people can leverage the poopy design of your chip to steal compromising information? And it's okay because the chip is functioning as it should?

It shows how deeply embedded the idea of maintaining proper design and processes is over, going back to the drawing board and designing a secure chip.

It's an interesting debate. But it's clear in the statement they provided, that they are laser focused on design above all else.

Literally, prioritize proper design over security and maybe even performance in some cases. Which is interesting because you'd figure at some point, the customer would be considered in the design.

Like are Intel chips designed by robots or something?

That's how Master Lock stays in business.
