Famous last words. As someone working in security research, you must have heard of attacks on the Intel Management Engine that allow malware persistence. Dunno about you, but that keeps me up at night.

Speaking of which, old computers with Intel CPUs also have unpatched vulnerabilities in the aforementioned Management Engine that can be exploited by anyone capable of sending a packet to the machine.
