#Intel management engine can now be exploited remotely via WiFi https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211112062814.7502-2-emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com/
And for those of us not on Intel, there's always #Microsoft Pluton coming, yay!

@MatejLach Seems best to avoid Intel altogether, but suppose for a moment that I am anyway using some kind of Intel-based computer. If I manage to remove or destroy its built-in wifi part and instead use only separately connected network devices (plugged in via a USB port or so), that should help protect against this?
@eliasr I'd think so. The patch email implies that this is even disabled by default, but who knows for how long...
