We've had a cyber attack on the Canadian Treasury computers by China over night, but during the report, they also talked about Chinese counterfeit chips being installed in US fighter jets that can be remotely disabled, and I hadn't seen anything about this on FR. Have you heard about it?

Have not heard of it, fanfan - but I’ve been a bit out of the loop.

I’m going to check out this NYT article:

I’ve heard nothing about counterfeit chips.
