  "These processors are running a closed-source variation of the open-source MINIX 3. We don't know exactly what version or how it's been modified" You'd hope the version they use has been worked on in the last 5 years.

    Or maybe you'd hope it hasn't - if there are holes in it then you've got a better chance of being able to regain control of your own hardware.

      So does everyone else. Hoping that intel drops the ball on your processors security in what is likely a high dollar research area for most nation states is not a great play. In theory you can just turn it off in your bios but, who knows?
