Tavis Ormandy added,
Please don’t go all BadBIOS on us… there are pins in interesting places all over motherboards of many different manufacturers. You can build a complete conspiracy theory on the implications of a JTAG port.
When someone finds a motherboard with RiceBIOS, connects to it, shows that it isn’t a capacitor, etc. then we can start believing.
“Any resemblance to #BadBIOS is purely coincidental”™
FWIW those empty pinouts are just a place for an alternate package SPI flash. Of course they're also a perfectly fine place for a backdoor chip... but then again so are endless other perfectly normal design features.
Indeed, as previously discussed, there are a gazillion options if you have supply chain or manufacturing access. Some of us are simply unconvinced this is true without further, harder, facts.
The only thing suggesting this may be true is the presumed credibility of Bloomberg. They've offered no hard facts nor evidence beyond "a bunch of people told us and we've been researching this for a year". There also aren't any obvious "this is fake" giveaways, though.
They also name drop companies which happen to be the two largest in the US… good choice to increase credibility with the financial people.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
