Comment on Do Huawei phones have a secret backdoor that the Chinese government can access?
al177@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year agoIt’s not known to be a backdoor, but it’s a juicy attack surface that customers are largely ignorant of and provides little consumer benefit. If I were an NSA employee and my boss handed me a blank check to develop a preboot exploit for Intel PCs, I’d start with IME.

The platform security processor, PSP. There were some mumblings of open sourcing the implementation details of it in 2017 or so, but that never happened, so it’s still a black box that is potentially exploitable.
