With the AMD hack now there's a potential backdoor kinda like the XZ backdoor but only worse. What can be done to help prevent this from happening?

Those reports mention a massive data breach with a lot of stolen data and "uncovered future product details". What makes you think that there is a potential backdoor? The xz case was completely different.
Yep, someone was able to add code to xz (although no repo IIRC) and I don't see any mention that attacker could somehow add/modify some AMD circuit design
Well someone else told me that this could lead to a backdoor. Anyway how about credit/debit card numbers they have on file? Should I be worried about my finances? Because I bought a GPU from them a couple of years ago.
