Isn't it so damn typical build a backdoor and people will take advantage of it.

EDIT: Not sure why it would only be on commercial systems. I don't believe Intel built specific chips for commerce.

Dangerous new AMT SOL malware abused by hackers. Can avast protect us?
Read: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mmpc/2017/06/07/platinum-continues-to-evolve-find-ways-to-maintain-invisibility/

There is more trouble like WannaCry in the pipeline for us all. Why supervisors do not make an effort to make the general infrastructure somewhat less holed with all those that wanna spook on the general public or abuse them, big gubberment and big commerce alike.

All small remainders of your privacy and other rights will go down the drain when this tracking and surveillance tornado is not brought to calm down. The sad thing is there seems no end to this.
