Research direction

Open the Keys page at the cited management-engine and Bootguard ACM fuses section, then compare its claim with the linked Vendors page. Update the outdated Librem-only statement to reflect the NovaCustom/Clevo case and add the requested vendor and leaked MSI Bootguard private-key references; verify the links and wording when done.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From https://osresearch.net/Keys/#management-engine-and-bootguard-acm-fuses :

The x230 Thinkpads do not support bootguard and only the Librem laptops ship with unfused keys.

This is not true anymore and for a little while with NovaCustom buying Clevo in bulk with unfused bootguard, see reviewed https://osresearch.net/Vendors/
