Computer made in China. Should we expect it *not* to spy in some manner?

What's wrong with that?

That's the password I always use for everything!

don’t use the software, but what would be helpful for passwords is the use of different alphabets (Russian, German, Greek, etc.)in English passwords.

Is such a thing possible?

A couple of years back, NASA IT personnel were preparing some new computers (out of the box new) to deploy at Marshall Space Flight Center. The computers were plugged into the network for configuration. A couple of minutes later a security guy burst into the room and started yanking network cables.

A brand new, “out-of-the-box” Lenovo started uploading to an IP in mainland China.

The moron who approved the deployment of Lenovo Computers at a government installation should be in prison.

How is this any different than bunches of companies using administration for user name and password for password when they ship their products?

Core Security alerted Lenovo to the vulnerabilities in SHAREit on October 29 last year. Lenovo issued patched versions of SHAREit yesterday.

Lenovo will release no patch before its time.
