Hardware bugs mean dangerous flaws to your and national security
Remember the Intel blunder of 1996? 'Mr. Shamir wrote that if an intelligence organization discovered a math error in a widely used chip, then security software on a PC with that chip could be "trivially broken with a single chosen message." Executing the attack would require only knowledge of the math flaw and the ability to send a "poisoned" encrypted message to a protected computer, he wrote. It would then be possible to compute the value of the secret key used by the targeted system.'"
BAD HARDWARE comment: AMD have had numerous bugs (not counting Phenom king) , and Intel if I remember well, some 234 uncorrected ones (and an internal way of correcting bugs !!!!). OMG.
