There is a serious security flaw in billions of Intel CPUs that can let attackers steal confidential data like passwords and encryption keys. Firmware updates can fix it, but at a potential significant performance loss.
I haven’t found any evidence of this, but that’s to be expected… How would that evidence look like even.
But there has always been rumors of this. And since there is money involved… I think it’s not unlikely.
The argument against this is always “there are so many viruses, antivirus companies can’t create them all”. And nobody is saying that. It’s enough to create one high profile virus and you will sell your anti virus software very easily.
But I think it was more common in the past. Today all companies will buy anti virus software, so it’s guaranteed sales.

Lmao I wish this was a heroin needle since those are often colloquially called “works” in some localities.
Yeah but heroin doesn’t make you cray the way meth does
Yeah I know, but the wordplay still makes it funny to me.

Yeah I remember some company was but I can’t find it anymore. Web has been scrubbed… It was a long time ago now.

That’s right… Zuckerberg and Bezos have a scrub team they send around once a quarter to keep the internet shiny…
Corrected Bezos, it’s a z.
This isn’t /r/conspiracy, that shit won’t fly here.
If there is no evidence then stop spreading misinformation.
