Very, very impressive, and reminiscent of sophisticated US intelligence operations (including the Soviet pipeline sabotage of the 80's). Expect foreign electronics manufacturers to decamp en masse from their Chinese plants. Supermicro, the publicly-listed manufacturer at the center of this disaster, is being quoted at almost half the price it was yesterday. It will probably go bust.

I read a novel like this about 10 years ago. Can't remember the title.

The did this back in 2008, too. The Government had to pull thousands of hard drives from big-name US manufacturers because a controller chip — made in China — was phoning home with files stored on the drives.
Two domains were hard-wired into the chips, both .cn.

I have never recommended a Super Micro kit to anyone for any reason. I am surprised to see so many top tier tech companies put their trust in 2nd tier server manufacturer. Doesn’t make sense.

Sorry dumbasses. That is what you get for manufacturing your crap in China. Backdoor hardware....

What?! I'm shocked!! Shocked I say!!!
Who could have guessed that letting China manufacture our high tech could result in infiltration???
Every high tech company needs to report their exposure to Chinese manufacturing and the steps they have taken to confirm their products have not been hacked and remedial steps to prevent them from being hacked in the future.
I have just one word for tech companies offshoring to China....

Years ago I was looking at the Lenovo Thinkpad. As soon as I found out Lenovo was a Communist Chinese company, Thinkpad became a non-contender.
We are under constant attack by Communist China. No matter how friendly they seem, they are our sworn enemy.

well at least we now know where the writers for “Silicon Valley” came up with “Pied Piper”, the color for their logo, and the story-line for their revolutionary compression algorithm ...

Any of you tech wizards know of a utility to sniff one’s pc for spy crap like this ?
Specifically for Asus mobos ?
Not like there’s anything on my machines the bastards would be after,
but it’s like craving a shower after seeing a pic of Hitlary, Carville, et al.

Gee, it’s almost like “free trade” is a mistake.
And letting your supply chain be dependent on an enemy like China is unwise !

With all that is going on, this is the most important story of the day, and it will reverberate for months, if not years.

I was watching an action-adventure movie awhile back, it wasn’t all that good - but in it, the Chinese manage to pretty much takeover the US by shutting down all US devices and computers remotely via already embedded chip-foolery.

That's interesting. The sort of interesting that could cause a ship to have the network shutdown as soon as a triggering signal is sent leaving the ship nearly or totally defenseless.
