Wang Yufei: This is indeed a very conscientious suggestion.

As the old saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries.

Intel has always been unable to get along with brain-computer chips and Huaxin Zhizhi, probably because the current life is too good.

If there is no immediate worry, it is natural to be able to see more far-reaching.

But now the situation is different, there are problems that need to be solved urgently, and it is inappropriate to look so far ahead.

After all, the threat of brain-computer chips is still far away from Intel, but the problem of CPU vulnerabilities is imminent and needs to be solved urgently.

The money from a class action lawsuit may not hurt Intel.

But if you lose a few more times, let alone Intel, even Apple, the king of cash, can't stand it.

Not to mention the ripple effects of the negative impact of the vulnerability on the stock market.

Intel can certainly hold up, but the pressure may not be able to withstand for Stephen and Mabelly.

Especially for Mebberly, Apple's previous approach is a lesson from the past.

A lot of people would never allow Intel to collapse, but if the board decided to fire him, there was absolutely no one who would speak for him.

Even firing Stephen can't make too many waves.

At most, there are a few reports on Wall Street, and the stock price may even skyrocket for two days, which is really embarrassing.

is still the same sentence, when it comes to their position, no one will care about small profits, whether it is to block Huaxin Intelligent Manufacturing or limit brain-computer chips, they are all focused on the future of Intel.

So now the question arises, what to do when Intel's future may affect its own future.

Mabeli looked at Stephen.

It's actually very simple to think about.

If they lose their place, it's not their turn to think about Intel's future.

Stephen was groaning, too.

The restriction on Weihua is based on the judgment of the technical department on the future of brain-computer chips.

Whether this judgment is accurate or not, and when the brain-computer chip poses a threat to Intel, it can be said that it is an imaginary thing.

If the loophole submitted by the other party is indeed enough to cause an earthquake in the industry or even become a scandal, it is not impossible to compromise temporarily.

It seems that it is not impossible to solve the current troubles and deal with this matter later.

Of course, it depends on what chips the opponent can come up with.

When they made eye contact, both of them understood each other's thoughts.

"So Mr. Wang, how do you prove that you have a loophole in your hands that you described?"

"It's very simple, if you reach an agreement with Weihua as soon as possible, I can submit some of the technical details of the vulnerability to you immediately. Oh, by the way, I read the news that you're facing a lawsuit at home, and it seems that there's already a loophole that is bothering you. My research partners and I also happened to find a bug that, once activated, had a similar effect. I think you'll be interested. ”

This sentence instantly hit the soft underbelly of the two.

If he was still hesitating just now, then as soon as Wang Yufei's words came out, Stephen and Maebori tasted the taste.

Fortunately?

Is there such a coincidence in this world?

As soon as you researched a loophole that could achieve a similar effect, the country started to make a fuss?

If there is no necessary connection between them, if it is not for his own identity, Mebori dares to say that he can eat Xiang in the end.

A vulnerability hidden in a hardware chip, not to mention how meticulous it takes to find it, and finding a way to attack a hardware device based on the vulnerability is also an extremely technically challenging process.

For example, some vulnerabilities sound scary, but hackers need to sit in front of each other's devices to operate before they can be exploited, which is a less urgent vulnerability.

To put it bluntly, valuable vulnerabilities have been proven to be exploitable. If a vulnerability cannot be fatal in one hit, and it needs to be combined with other vulnerabilities, it will not be paid attention to at all unless it is targeted in a specific scenario. It is not the most preferred in the attack chain, and the proportion of use is very small and almost negligible.

That's why 0DAY is always worth a lot.

And now the other party obviously has some vulnerabilities that they haven't found yet, and they didn't report it to Intel as soon as possible, but played a small trick behind the scenes, putting Intel in a passive situation.

But apparently both Stephen and Mabelry wanted to be crooked.

In fact, Wang Yufei did not remotely exploit the vulnerability to cause trouble, in fact, these are the choices of those consumers who sue Intel.

"Mr. Wang, I would like to remind you that if you think that you are studying these vulnerabilities for security, Intel will be very grateful to you and will show you respect to your partners, but if you have exploited these vulnerabilities to do things that you should not do, then wait for ......"

"Don't scare me, Mr. Mebberly, if you continue to scare me, I'll hang up. In fact, if I really wanted to do something with the holes in my hands, the lawsuit you're facing right now wouldn't be so kitten three or two. So far, I haven't done anything illegal, at least not yet. If you are not interested in the loopholes I am talking about, then we don't have to talk about it, I will sell all these loopholes through regular channels, and I believe that I will definitely make a lot of profits. ”

"So let's be honest, if tomorrow you still insist that you can't carry brain-computer chips on Intel platforms, there will be nothing to talk about between us. But I'm sure you're going to have more trouble than we are going to have to deal with next. ”

"Okay, but I'd love to know, if, I mean, if you didn't use this vulnerability for any destructive activity after you researched it, did you spread it through what channel? Or is it now known to a lot of people?"

"I don't know! Since I said if, then I can also guess irresponsibly, maybe it's because after your company exposed the two major vulnerabilities of dissolution and ghost last year, it attracted the attention of some black industry people in your country, and then began to increase efforts to find hardware vulnerabilities in the CPU, and got a similar conclusion as ours? This is very possible. Because truly advanced computer technology is in the hands of your country. Your technicians are far more skilled than our Huaxia people. So at least from my point of view, I think it's very possible. ”

"Well, we need to talk a bit before we can give you a formal reply, Mr. Wang. ”

"I don't need to give me a formal reply, if I have to give a reply, I hope it will be after you and Weihua have reached a formal agreement. ”

"Make an agreement first?"

"Wouldn't it be easy for you to tear up the agreement if I had no purpose?"

This statement seems to make sense.
