Apple and Amazon - thanks for nothing.

I'm not sure if "Me262" has said anything about this lately...

JMO, but I think these have national security implications. When is DHS going to get involved?

Thanks,

Others have posted on this from other sources -

I posted this since it’s from China Uncensored.

“When is DHS going to get involved?”

Too busy groping 90 yo old veterans at airports and stockpiling ammo.

Yeah, TSA is a real treat. But, if Apple and Amazon are being hacked by China, that would necessarily mean that businesses and individuals who do business with Apple and Amazon are also probably being hacked.

And as for Google, it is helping China violate the human rights of its citizens. How do we know that Google isn't also betraying the United States in some way?

Widely debunked by Apple, Amazon, NSA and many others.

Bloomberg has reported erroneously on Apple in the past:

And while it is plausible that this has happened, although somewhat far fetched given what this tiny chip supposedly does, why have we not seen a picture of the actual chip. All I have seen is a stock picture and an animation from Bloomberg. If this problem were as widespread as Bloomberg claims, a picture would have leaked by now.

That question needn’t be even asked. They are completely subversive.

It’s so easy it is stupid. I’m frankly shocked a lot more hacks aren’t occurring.

Of course China's people have infiltrated those and others.....Xi isn't sending/allowing his people over here without expecting pay-back in kind. As I understand it they are ‘expected’ to assist if and when called on while in the states. China's agenda includes using it's people here to promote it's agenda with a target audience....both via Hollywood and politically...as well within Social media's and Business....

Thanks. I’m glad someone else is taking a hard look at them.

If there was a profit they would.

I have first hand.information that a US contract mfr. Is gearing up to mfr. 9000 cloud caliber servers a month in the United States. Let that sink in for a minute.

This hack is real.

Or someone is manipulating the market. Supermicro stock dropped 50% after Bloomberg release the report.

Let that sink in for a minute!

The information came from purchase orders, not rumors. Enough people believe the supply chain has been compromised to the point that they are moving server production into CONUS.

But hey, buy that Supermicro on the dip chief.

Fake news. Posted many, many times on FR and debunked. Why do you post this crap?

Not debunked, to me anyway. And I’m an EE, specialized in digital design. I read the makn article, and it certainly is plausable.

I have het to see anyone with actual EE knowledge explain why it isn’t possible. It most definitely is.

AND I’ll bet it’s in plenty of routers, too.

That might explain the huge drop in tech stock market values which seem to be leading the market sell off right now. Also these companies have declared defacto war on half of their customers who happen to be conservative voters. The money coming in gets cut to half and the values drop.

I’m an EE too. Bachelors and Masters. Also specialized in digital design before moving on to optics and quantum. Your analysis is accurate. Well done.
