Hi all,
Im getting ready to build a new system, because of tge chip shortage i've been looking @ used CPU's on Ebay and forums.
With all the cpu microcode hacks becoming more common, should inve worried/concerned about buying a chip thats been compromised. Is it even possible for a hacker to mess the microcode and gain access to my info later on?
Or am I being paranoid?
