Privacy is Dead
“We are not a consumer anymore , We are the products”
Yes! Privacy is dead we knew it for a long time but in this era where we are totally digitalize and don’t tell me that you don’t have anything to hide?
What if I tell you that you are been monitored the whole time by the government. The Laptops, PCs you use is always watching your every step. Even if you are using VPNs , TOR or Operating systems like tails you are not anonymous anymore
HOW IT IS POSSIBLE ?
When it comes to become anonymous , everyone is worrying about the network layer or data link layer but no one cares about the physical layer. What about it.
Every computer that is build on a intel platform since 2008 or later has a hidden computer running inside their chips. It cannot be turned off, removed, disabled. It is the way beyond any user access. This controls your system. It is totally invisible. It can bypass any Operating System or any CPU action
This is an Intel management engine, a subsystem of a microprocessor which is operating in every Intel CPU chip. There is very little information that has been disclosed regarding the Intel management engine and what it does. The micro controller works independently from the main CPU.
It cannot be manually removed only Intel/vendors can able to remove it. It operates even if your system is off. It runs an Operating System called Minix. Not only Intel, but AMD Security platform also have the same story
THE BOSS: NSA (National Security Agency)
When this matter was disclosed it was so serious that the US government asked Intel to remove the management engine for all their govt systems. Security researchers wrote research papers about remote exploitation and also ME-based keystroke logging rootkit. By providing software updates for operating systems didn’t make the vulnerability patch, this need to be patch physically by the vendor. From 2008 to 2017 all the systems are still vulnerable
NSA also asked to leave the vulnerability as it is so that they can spy over worldwide. Do you remember what happened when NSA asked Microsoft not to patch a vulnerability. No one can forget how much damage is done by “Wanna Cry” ransomware. There are lots of other vulnerabilities that still exist today in our system’s physical layer and only known to intelligence agencies so that they can exploit anyone from this world.
Next WW3 will be the Cyber War between nations. It’s just one click to blew all the nation’s nuclear reactors
What can we do?
This video will guide you to remove the ME backdoor from your computer but who knows they are few other vulnerabilities present in our chips and these are being done intentionally because its the real business
