Shady Intel CEO

in #tech7 years ago

Talk about shady people, this guy sells off 39 million bucks worth of intel shares after he finds out about the vulnerability with their processors but before this info hits the pubic.

Isn't this the same thing that Martha Stewart got a slap on the wrist for?
The offical company line says its "completely coincidental" but the fact that he sold off the maximum that he could legally sell just sets off a red flag to me.

For those who arent in the know, a new hack has hit the net which takes advantage of hardware level vulnerability that allows someone to be able to pull information directly from the processor.
Keep in mind that this is an extremely simplified description of what happens with this hack.
