And that says nothing about the fact that this hardware is old. The problem has already been fixed in modern hardware, where the TPM is internal to the CPU and doesn't have external access points like this. So...the problem has already been fixed as well. That's why I'm calling it such a silly, overhyped article. It's great clickbait, but it has very little basis in the real world as of today.

Whoops, looks like you relocated the goalposts somewhere else. Might want to move them back to where they were.

The goalpost was "This is a sensationalist headline that doesn't tell the whole truth"...sorry you missed it, it's pretty big. I tried to hit on every bit of bullshit, but you seem to have misconstrued that as the actual point, instead of just a portion of the argument.

You went on your triad of how you incorrectly attributed hacking time while nobody else thought that way, then shifted the goal posts once proven wrong.
