Data center equipment run by Amazon Web Services and Apple may have been subject to surveillance from the Chinese government via a tiny microchip inserted during the equipment manufacturing process, according to a Bloomberg BusinessWeek report on Thursday. The claims in the report have been strongly disputed by the technology giants.

Just noticed this, thought I would post this.
Not yet clear, whether this report is accurate.
I don't trust Bloomberg, but then again I greatly suspect China.
So we will see.

But then again, nobody else has done a THING to protect American interests.
Nobody.
So Trump really seems to be on the correct approach, at the moment.

Dumbest thing IBM did was to give away PC business to Chicoms!!
Another reason to have things “ made in America “. Bezo is a rich idiot.

Wow, that is a pretty high pile of dump things too. IBM has a long history of stupid.
Google decided to have their new Titan security keys manufactured in China. What could possibly go wrong?
I’m buying my keys from Yubico, manufactured in USA and Sweden.
Reminds me of a 1st Gulf War story which told the tale of GPS chips in printers sold to Iraq. Put the printer in a comm center and poof... Comm center goes bye-bye in the bombing raid.
Agree, and prior to that the dumbest thing any American electronics manufacturer ever did was move manufacturing to China.
Lotus Notes qualifies as both dumb and stupid. I will throw in evil as well.
Any opportunity to bash Lotus Notes.
AMAC (AARP for patriots) magazine just had a good article on “Drug Shortages: The Unknown Threat”. It’s about China’s ownership of our drug ingredients and manufacture, America’s lost drug capabilities and how our military gets most of its drugs from China. Duh!!!
NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!
NOTHING.
Nothing...............lookatda Squirrel!!!!!
Electronic stuff made in China certainly has spy devices and soft or firmware installed.
This can’t be good for Huawei or ZTC.
Who would trust anything they make now? And, if it turns out they have bugged Apple devices, the uproar will be loud and long.
They may say “no” but unless they have a secured supply chain they’re just wishing it so.
It’s a big issue with the DoD, that electronic equipment is free of Chinese components. Unfortunately the private organizations which are entrusted to verifying sourcing of components are usually from the same industries making the electronics.
So are the Amazon and Apple DoD contracts are in jeopardy?
I’m guessing the majority of the Apple fanbois don’t care.
That’s nothing. They have a spy chip in the US Senate.
And another thing... This ought to hammer the H1-B program big time.
I totally believe it. If it is not the chicom’s, its the NSA.
Doncha mean Locust Notes?
That software ate up any hardware it was installed on.
cool article at bloomberg. Love the graphics! I used to work at a chip dealer company. They were small 25 yrs ago so no surprise at how tiny the thing is. Always thought spying was a given. Even with our radios after fbi did it at Waco. Why bother with an EMP when a tiny chip can shut down main hubs?
