Is AMD trying to waste all the goodwill they have received from the good news?

I certainly will be more wary when considering new AMD platform now.

"Public" TCP port is incorrect. It listens to local connections.

(Not saying that's great either.)

Some people on reddit mention it's listen on 0.0.0.0.

I'm more worried about this line in the exe:

public string se_ = "https://se.cgbe.trustonic.com";

It seems that it PINVOKEs a dll (rootpacommon.dll) which communicates with this address. My guess is that the dll is communicating with the trusted execution engine.
