This is what I think, too. My professional knowledge doesn't encompass anything like ME, but occasionally areas I am expert in do come up. Unfortunately I can't honestly do much more than just watch -- I'm afraid that I might give away things I shouldn't without realizing it. I'm sure that I'm far from the only one.

If you are in this position, you may be able to take secretly actions: - create tools to help fight what you deem contrary to things that are important to you - dispatch leaks in subtitle ways so that humanity is not left in the dark - lead anonymous and discrete community of people sharing your believes, your skills and passion to improve things Be careful. And best of luck.

Late to the party here and I doubt you'll ever see this.

But I haven't seen anything that worried me. Besides those NDAs are legally binding promises, I take those seriously.

Prior to the NSA contractor Edward Snowden's revelations in 2013, Room-641A had already been exposed by an AT&T employee-turned-whistleblower Mark Klein. The EFF sued the government in 2006 over it. Tape over laptop cameras isn't just a "parents-of-friends" thing, it's a good idea. Buy a set of stickers and support the EFF: https://supporters.eff.org/shop/laptop-camera-cover-set Anyone know somebody at Wired?

We should start demanding physical shutters for laptop webcams. Does anyone make those yet?

Indeed they do. The security team at my work ordered hundreds of them and hand them out to anyone that asks. They even have the company logo on them.

Now that we know for sure people who have worked on or are working on Intel ME actually read and post here, I'd like to take the opportunity to refer those of you to a previous post of mine about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15120207 If you choose to defect and leak all the information you can, you will almost certainly be greatly praised for it by many. Of course there will be negative consequences, but…
