That’s great and all, but he owned that hardware. You’re not developing hardware exploits on a target’s hardware, you do it on a copy of the target’s hardware.
That’s like claiming the NSA spent months breaking into your phone. In reality, they spent months developing exploits on the iPhones they bought and minutes breaking into your phone once they have it.

And that says nothing about the fact that this hardware is old. The problem has already been fixed in modern hardware, where the TPM is internal to the CPU and doesn’t have external access points like this.

Whoops, looks like you relocated the goalposts somewhere else. Might want to move them back to where they were.

The goalpost was “This is a sensationalist headline that doesn’t tell the whole truth”…sorry you missed it, it’s pretty big.
