“Britain’s national cyber security agency said on Friday it had no reason to doubt”
Thats not a denial. Besides what else would they say. Besides its not like the UK security services have a handle on protecting their own country from jihadis, why should they be any more effective vs China.
I also don’t understand your puffed-chest exhortations about how important Five Eyes is, as if thats going to make this mealy mouth “no reason to doubt” to appear that it is a real denial (it isn’t.. )
This is FreeRepublic. WE DON’T TRUST BIG CORPORATIONS run by millionaire / billionaire Leftists, or BIG GOVTS, OR AMALGAMS of their security services.
You know, BT, it is not MY problem that you are ignorant. The Five Eyes are the intelligence Agencies of the five nations I listed working together and SHARING data. They also willingly spy on each others' citizens so they can get around their respective laws prohibiting such domestic activity and share THOSE data. Try to learn something before you expose your ignorance of the interconnectedness of the Intelligence Agencies. . . and insult those of us who DO KNOW with accusations of "puffed-chest exhortations" in the same sentence where you claim you "don't understand." That is the height of arrogance.
A claim of "no reason" to doubt IS agreement with Apple and Amazon. What part of "No" do you fail to grasp? No doubt you were in agreement with the Democrats who would not accept the statements of the people who said they did NOT see anything in reference to Judge Kavanaugh. That is also a "No evidence" statement as in this case. They have NO EVIDENCE to dispute Apple's and Amazon's claims, yet you are wiling to believe the Main Stream Media's single source Bloomberg Businessnews, who has published FAKE NEWS before, citing seventeen anonymous sources whom they refuse to name both in the government and at Amazon and Apple as saying these events happened THREE YEARS AGO?
The UK's NSCS and the GCHQ buy thousands of servers and have in the THREE YEARS since Amazon and Apple supposedly discovered these chips on Supermicro motherboards in the summer of 2015 THE UK agencies HAVE NOT FOUND evidence of such a malicious chip and if there were a chip they would HAVE evidence one exists.
Would they lie? Of course they would. They are the equivalent of the NSA for the UK. . . but YOU feel the need to denigrate them.
But, BT, so far no other user of the servers has come forward to say #metoo. . . I found a chip on my servers. That's pretty damn good evidence this is FAKE NEWS from serial fake news publisher Bloomberg.
