I promise you none of this is happening to serve ads today, almost certainly a coincidence at present

If the hardware can do it, you can't trust the software to stop other software from accessing it. You did well for those 5 years, but you know the increased capabilities increases attack surface. I know you're no stranger to NIST nor ISA/IEC.
