This was fully disclosed in our blog post, and I stand behind everything we said. I think it's unfortunate how it played out in the press, however, I think we were one of the only voices of reason through it all. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2018/03/15/amd-flaws-technical-summary/ …
Second, we weren't paid to "back up" anything to the press. We were paid for a thorough technical investigation of a piece of software. No one can pay me to lie, or hype anything and then promote it on their behalf.

Third, you'll note that even AMD cited our public analysis of the vulnerabilities in their reporting: https://community.amd.com/community/amd-corporate/blog/2018/03/21/initial-amd-technical-assessment-of-cts-labs-research … I'm not sure how you think I should have acted differently?

Personally I believe it was important you being paid by CTS Labs was mentioned in the reporting, because independent sources matter. However that’s up to reporters to establish and list.

The press used it as a second source, was more the point.

So what did you (Dan Guido) think it was going to be used as? Do you not ask questions before you certify the work of what was (until then) an unknown sec outfit?
