Isn't it good? Does leaked key mean that now owners of hardware will be able to read and modify the firmware, including IME, and check it for backdoors?

Such keys should be in the hands of users, not Intel.

If there was something to leak, it was always going to. Just a matter of when. Pretending otherwise is just security theater.

Yeah, don't depend on a permanent global conspiracy for your security. Someone always defects and accidents often happen long before that.

That’s the same argument that people use to support the second amendment (the people’s right to bear arms)
