Well worth a read at the site, if you are using Windows 8. Given that so many FR's use Windows, and post here, you should probably know this.

"Explosive, for example, the fact that the secret key generated during the manufacturing process, external to the chip and then transferred into the chip. Here it is trivial to produce a copy of all keys. It is not excluded that such laws exist and this must not be reported. The TPM chip is a dream for the NSA. Also, the other realistic scenario is that the TPM manufacturers do not sit in the range of the NSA but in China, can not really calm down. ”"

Windows 8 is indeed dangerous - dangerous to productivity if you’re actually trying to anything but tweet, text, or find the latest cat video.

>>The TPM chip is a dream for the NSA.

TPM isn’t new.

“Starting in 2006, many new laptop computers have been sold with a Trusted Platform Module chip built-in. In the future, this concept could be co-located on an existing motherboard chip in computers, or any other device where a TPM’s facilities could be employed, such as a cell phone. On a PC, the LPC bus is used.”

And I really doubt the NSA would need TPM to remotely access any Windows PC.
