Intel OEM Private Key Leak: A Blow to UEFI Secure Boot Security

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.

It is not a conspiracy. Just like the iOS App Store it is for your own protection. There is no legitimate reason to run your own software on general purpose computing hardware.

/s I hope. ;)

Doesn't really matter /a or not, it's a ridiculously reductive and extremist position either way.

Security is about tradeoffs, most notably security vs convenience, but also many others.

Anyone who suggests that their personal preferences in tradeoffs are not just universally correct but also the only reasonable position to hold is just silly.
