The Supermiro story was quite fascinating and I absolutely believe in its feasibility. We know that China attempts to hack into American security and government systems, so it raises a very valid fear that a company like Huawei could, and likely would, do something like this.
That whole story was just to easily - and too quickly - dismissed by the major companies...
- avian 7y agoNobody claimed that it's impossible to have hardware implants in principle. You can find papers that predate the Bloomberg story and discuss much more advanced approaches than what was presented there. The problem with that story was that it claimed that such an attack was in progress, while citing no sources and presenting no credible evidence. Using stock photos of unrelated components and basing part of the article on an interview where the expert explicitly speculated on the possibilities and not an actual attack didn't inspire confidence in Bloomberg reporting either.
