  If an attacker gets access to your system, they will be able to ensure you can’t get rid of the vulnerability

  It will persist across operating system installs

  However, this requires them to get access first

    Sounds like it’s time for an upgrade. Never know what kind of weirdos are out there. Thanks for the information.

  If they get root or admin they can hack the chip itself.

  But minor exploits, nada, no issue, you good. Gotta get root to make it happen.

  Problem is if you, as they say, get got, you have no way of knowing if they’re in your CPU, and no way to fix if they did – basically gotta trash it and replace.
