RE: Attempted Product Assassination? - AMD Ryzen Security Flaws - Though the shady part is in how they were disclosed to AMD.
Do you think this would apply to a AMD Threadripper?

Probably but the exploits seem intentionally sensational. To make them work you already have to have root access... if they have that you're kind of in trouble already.
Root.... reminds me of the TV show "Person of Interest"
That show played out where everything is headed.
Thanks for the insight. If that's the case it is just another day in the park. You would have to be hacked and if you are hacked who cares what kind of a processor you have.
So the headline should have been "if you get hacked and they gain root access, this is what can happen to your AMD Ryzen device."
I was a little skeptical... but we bought a new 16 core 32 thread threadripper.
It actually is the smoothest running machine we have ever owned. It can handle anything we throw at it. So far anyway. Here is the post the wife made about it here.
I would have built it, and did search out all the components we wanted? For the price Cyberpowerpc.com could build it cheaper than I could even get the components. Heck I could not even find 2- 11gb graphic cards for less than 1400 each.
We have not started mining at the current lows it is not worth the electricity.
