Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.
This is really bad because unlike previous exploits, if you get owned, you have no way of ever knowing. No virus scan can detect it, no OS reinstall will remove it.
But the attacker/hacking tool needs admin/kernel access in the first place.
Not patching the 3000 series seems like a big mistake because it was so popular. There’s gotta be lots of those chips out in the wild. It’s also a 5 year old chip. So I get not being able to go that far back.
Can anyone just release a chip without massive security flaws these days?
