And especially things like IPMI (which is essentially a company-sanctioned backdoor to any intel server) which has a full on webserver with an unknown number of threat vectors, things like this really fall flat for security.

It actually is a reason to be more sceptic and evidence focused. And she should be jailed for her perjury and crime.
