Microsoft, AMD and other tech giants could have built these vulnerabilities into their products deliberately to allow the NSA and whoever else to collect data and spy on people.

It is a conspiracy theory & all of it could be 100% incorrect. But maybe something worth noting.

I think the case is that we've known this was happening for decades but had no definitive, solid proof of the conspiracy. Now we do, so everyone is waiting for the shoe to drop -- how will this be addressed by the tech industry, the alphabet soup, the gov, et al.
How do you react when this kind of flaw is made public?
