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.

        Which all dangerous exploits already give. Next time there’s a new published exploit for Linux or Windows, you could have been affected but will never know and will never be able to remove.
