It seems as if Meltdown / Specter loopholes are not big enough, and Harry Sintonen, a researcher at Finnish security firm F-Secure, has found a new loophole in the Intel CPU processor that affects millions of enterprise-class notebooks.
New security holes exist in Intel AMT active management technology that can be used by hackers to take full control of user devices and complete intrusion in seconds.
Despite trying to exploit this vulnerability, the victim's laptop had to be taken in person, but Sintonen still classified it as high-risk because it took less than a minute for a hacker to exploit the vulnerability to take control of the entire device and gain access to the same network remote control.
go a step further, Even if you set the BIOS password, turn on BitLocker, TPM lock, or have anti-virus software installed, you can not defend.
Hackers can help Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx), Use the admin account and the default password to log in, so as to get full control of the system, steal data, what can be implanted Trojan virus can do whatever they want.
Intel has not responded to this yet.
