Flaws found in Intel Management Engine (ME), TXE and SPS

Hi,

the question i think is what are the signs of intrusion or what ever word you want to use how do you know if when you have been hacked by (?) what log or XML or what ever (can i ask cortana of this?) does Intel/Toshiba have a cortana? something in easy English.

Through MEI the machine can be attacked without its OS loaded or without it even being switched on.
The built-in micro-processor hardly draws any power though I've no idea what feeds it.

MEI can be altered to render it useless by modifying its microcode but it sure isn't easy.
Intel's planning on changing it in such a way that it can no longer be turned back to a vulnerable state. At least those are the plans.
Forgot where I read it though.....

All my machine also come with Intel's AMT which allows remote access even when it's turned off... Now that truely makes me feel very secure....





Cheers,

Good Day All

So what have the stock exchange people with all there machines said.

Thanks mike. It's a bit of a beast compared to my old one. I'm really enjoying it.

Hi,
Indeed looks like we upgraded out old systems pretty close to each other :)
I retired my old Acer mother board not quite 2 months ago with a x299 what a lot of fun that was

Thanks Wynona I'll keep that in mind.
