I thought that the government has its fingers in all the tech companies so whether the data are encrypted or not doesn't matter?
- acobster 8y agoAre you referring to the hardware attack against SuperMicro? If so, it's a pretty big leap to make from "we know about a single attack" to "fingers in all tech companies." Not that I trust Google and friends, but... that's a pretty big claim.
- earenndil 8y agoI am not, and in fact it seems just as likely that the supermicro endeavor was a private endeavor. It does seem likely, though, given the level of trust the government has in its companies, e.g. I think it was tencent that made their social credit system.
