It's the same principle as explained by bunnie in the video. HDD and RAM
process all the data. But they have hard/soft programming which proces that
data.

If you can't audit the hard/soft programming then you don't know if your
data is being read/copied/manipulated.

More and more hardware is using CPU to function. And thus have soft
programming (firrmware) which can be altered.
