content: Made sense to me. Intel ME (Management Engine) owned - full JTAG over USB access. Basically, ME is another processor embedded in Intel CPUs that has full access to everything (EVERYTHING, including the network), runs even when your computer is turned off, and runs its own code that no one has any clue what it's actually doing. It's a massive potential security hole and is basically only there for a hardware backdoor anyway. People have been trying to hack it to not only figure out how to disable it but to figure out what the code is actually doing. Now these two have figured out how to get complete access to it via JTAG over USB. JTAG is a low level access for debugging chips, so, game over.
