This seems mildly terrifying if you're using AMD's auto-update tool on Windows on an untrusted network: https://mrbruh.com/amd/. Them immediately closing it as a "won't fix" because it involves a MITM attack is odd. I guess that policy must have been more concerned with CPU-level vulnerabilities?

Like, I don't know how many regular users have that pre-installed by whoever sold them their computer, but it must be a lot of people. It's a race to see if your computer gets remotely pwned first by ASUS's or AMD's auto-updater if you all have that pre-installed crapware.
