Intel Security Center announce list still broken

Intel has a Security Center web site, for firmware updates of their products, with a listing of new advisories and a mailing list to be notified of new advisories.

https://security-center.intel.com/MailingList.aspx

The mailing list does not work. I’ve told them about this for the last few months, no reply. Don’t trust Intel’s list to keep up-to-date on Intel security. You have to visit the web site every few days to find out about new advisories. Like the below one which came out earlier this week:
