Various sources report that Intel's latest x86 chips contain a secret backdoor. SoftPedia cites security expert Damien Zammit as revealing that these Intel chips come with an embedded subsystem called the Management Engine (ME) that functions as a separate CPU and cannot be disabled, and the code is proprietary.

According to Intel, the ME is in place so enterprise businesses can manage computers remotely via Active Management Technology (AMT). AMT runs completely isolated from any operating system installed on the PC.

It gets creepier.

According to Zammit, the ME:

  • has full access to memory (without the parent CPU having any knowledge);
  • has full access to the TCP/IP stack;
  • can send and receive network packets, even if the OS is protected by a firewall;
  • is signed with an RSA 2048 key that cannot be brute-forced; and
  • cannot be disabled on newer Intel Core2 CPUs.

​E pensar que Dilma poderia ter expulsado estes espiões corruptos do serviço público brasileiro, no episódio da espionagem...​
