Scary. Does that capability also makes it easy to hack anyone or any organization such as political related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The need for hacking was eliminated by inserting a hardware backdoor. This was China making use of the fact that it manufactures nearly all of the planet's computers.

Huawei was accused of doing the same thing when they were manufacturing Cisco hardware, quite some time ago. It is scary, on multiple levels really, but what did anyone really expect? All of the developed world uses computers, and at least one major component of all of them is made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
