It would ruin their optics if they directly told the world they caught a criminal using a hardware backdoor, also the management engine is probably not powerful enough to log every single activity on the computer, but it is possible such backdoor has helped them subtly before

They have to be at least a little covert about what situations they use it in. They can't just rape every computer they can touch on internet without people noticing.

This nigger is right THOUGH, the feds will never oust when they use backdoors. They'll either retroactively follow a trail or fabricate one for whoever they catch with it. Or if that's not an option, literally let child trafficking pedophiles go free

I'm sure the way the FBI works is
>Narrow the suspects down to a few hundred loosely within the realm of the law
>Backdoor them
>Confirm the perpetrators using said backdoor
>Develop a trail or make one up using information you wouldn't otherwise have
>If you get caught during any stage of the process, pin it on some rival hacking group or Russia or something
