"A Friday report from Bloomberg News revealed China was able to spy on American computer systems for a decade by supplying compromised chips to Super Micro Computer Inc. (Supermicro), one of America’s leading motherboard providers.
According to the report, U.S. intelligence agencies were aware of this wide-reaching Chinese espionage program but did not warn either Supermicro or its customers, because they prioritized monitoring China’s surveillance techniques and developing countermeasures against them........

Well, it was true, and our IC agencies knew it, and didn't tell us. For a decade.
A. DECADE.
Read the bloomy link in the Breitbart article. Maddening!
Ping!
The IC agencies work for US............./s
As an aside, FR is one of the top conservative sites on the net. So yes, the FIB, ATF, etc monitor it. Probably have bots running, surveiling every post for keywords and sentence fragments to be analyzed at length. OK, no surprise.
But I am also convinced that China has spies here as well, sleeper freepers. They would be fools not to. That would explain the vitriolic over reaction referened above. This was a China coup—hardware hacked every server, sent data to thier spy agencies. Imbedded hardware bots in servers phoning home, with anything they desired.
Train your subordinates to do same for a easy ride.
I remember when the US was afraid Japan would spy on us thru Japanese made electronics. I still have appliances that are over 30 years old and work. China made crap lasts until the one year warrantee expires!
I’ve always assumed, back to the 90s and Usenet, that I and everyone else online is being ‘spied’ upon.
You pays her money and you takes yer chance...
Here I was going to change my handle to SleeperFreeper and you tainted it. I'll be branded a Chinese spy and I don't even speak Mandarin. What a way to crush my dreams.

“China made crap lasts until the one year warrantee expires!”
On purpose. It has become almost trivial science to make circuits die after a certian time. Lots of $ has been spent on component longevity. Sub in a handful of low level parts that fail on the average of 12 months, and the odds become 99% chance of dead circuits.
Throw away, buy another. The razorblade model.
Lol, well, you’re bipolar so just wait a few hours.
I remember when the rumors broke a few years ago about Supermicro boards being compromised, and some freepers were angrily denying it could happen, making fun of other techies here. I mean, irrationally angry; not at china, but at other freepers saying they believed it could easily be true.The government wants to disarm us after 244 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!Well, it was true, and our IC agencies knew it, and didn't tell us. For a decade.
It is totally wondrous how often a Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory turns out to be true...
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
No telling what secrets of my finances and other work they've known about and used for nefarious reasons...
Dang! Since I already hate communists and want their extinction, where do I go (psychologically) from here?
Mainly during the Comrade Obama regime. Hmmm!
And this is surprising! Take a look who is in the white house! The chinese communist stooge.
If you really want to go tinfoil, the US figured out how it worked (the spying) early on, and simply took the feed too.
