Within electrical transformers sold be the C hina to USA are extra chips which enable remote shutoff - disabling of - transformers. The C C P can take down the U S A electrical grid remotely. These transformers were banned via T rump executive order. This executive was canceled along with several others: Tiktok ban Waiwav ban Ban on Investments that flowed index funds to Chin a ................courtesy of Joey Bei-jing thread post on more recently announced software hacking: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...nications-microsoft-says.374512/#post-5814991
& not a single non speculative source was seen that day. How'd that bloomberg "supermicro motherboard spy chips" story pan out for them?
Embedded remote controls, it is called IOTs, internet of things. Your peleton is just a treadmill with a fancy iPad. Your doorbell with camera control to your iPhone. Let’s not debate securities and privacies, there are none anywhere in the world. The Chinese can likely shut your smoke detector and burn you alive with remote oven control, the story goes.
That danger is still there. Computer boards with chips "as small as a grain of rice" bought from Tawain in the days of save a few pennies and put in military and communication computers. They don't even know which computers have them in them.
Of course the hypocrite US idiots will cry loud when China retaliates against US companies selling their products and services in China. See the Micron case (MU): "Tech war: China's top server makers stop orders of memory modules containing Micron chips" ...meaning MU will go down --> StockShorting or LongPut...
Military systems go through in-depth evaluation and quality control for all the components placed in core operational systems. This is why a toilet seat causes thousands of dollars when procured by the military. There are no computer boards with compromised chips being placed in core U.S. military systems. With Telecom, Networking, Electric grid, etc. you may have a case.
That is what the government wants you to think, because they are smarter than private gunrunners? The answer is we just don’t know. Whatever systems can be hooked up remotely, the risks are there. Same goes with our exports to the rest of the world.
point missed. This story was basically fake news, no such chips were ever proven to be found or story verified by others.
