That sort of thing is what stops me from dismissing Bloomberg's reporting. Intelligence agencies have a long history of creating implants that seem fantastical for their era. Consider The Thing and the Selectric Bug. An implant small enough to go unnoticed on a motherboard somehow compromising the BMC to exfiltrate data or control doesn't strike me as the least bit far-fetched. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device) http://www.cryptomuseum.com/covert/bugs/selectric/ http://www.cryptomuseum.com/covert/bugs/selectric/
