Used to get mimi-floppy disks with malware and viruses pre-installed for my convenience. Nothing new.

Anyone who thinks China is innocent in any form of theft and espionage, is insanely stupid or works for China.

Apple has no idea what is in their products. Like most everyone else, Samsung and other manufacturers build the technology components of their phones.

‘The chips, which Bloomberg said have been the subject of a top secret U.S. government investigation starting in 2015, were used for gathering intellectual property and trade secrets from American companies and may have been introduced by a Chinese server company called Super Micro that assembled machines used in the centers.’ [snip]

CNBC is retarded, Super Micro is a US company based in San Jose. Though they certainly do manufacturing in China.

I just read the emergency test yesterday was actually a test of these spy-chip infected systems.

Some people are saying the small number of those who didn’t get the message were infected. I am of the belief that they are actually the ones NOT infected.

Thank you for the info.

I always wondered about this. At some point some nation will try it sooner or later.

Probably more concerning, the hardware is/was widely used in the military, including for processing drone footage...

THat’s one of the dumber conspiracy theories I’ve heard recently. What would the point even be?

Notorious tech pirates. And boy did Bill Clinton help them with our top nuclear missile secrets.

Chips? Probably not. Features in coding including the CPU operating system, good chance.

No one person can. Tech is too advanced.
