      To *newer Intel and AMD cpus and only certain models.

      There’s a lot of current hardware that uses embedded TPMs. It also depends on the communication path between the CPU and the module, but chances are it will be clear text and in some, via LPC.

      So offline (external) bitlocker drives that are unlocked with the key only.

      Or internal bitlocker drives that are unlocked with AMD fTPM are excluded from this exploit?
