That’s what I thought but then it says it’s hooked to the BMC bus. It’s basically a small IME device with no java bloatware to run. I’d think it’s reasonably credible

My issue isn't whether or not it's possible for hardware to be insecure or whether or not it's possible for exploits to exist.

My issue is this Chinese undetectable super chip creating unpreventable wide-scale vulnerabilities.

For what it's worth, I've worked in hardware security and I own a hardware quality control startup.
