What about publicly known backdoors in your hardware?

There is hardware that doesn't contain those at least, but it doesn't break power records.
- jl6 4y agoI don't consider it practical to take any countermeasures to the possibility of this threat. I think there's a ~10% chance it's a backdoor, and if it is, there's a 98% chance it would be at the behest of a branch of the US government, and I'm not currently an adversary of theirs. (This is not an argument for mass surveillance, it's just a practical assessment of the risk).
- rhn_mk1 4y agoJust to be clear, the question of whether it's a backdoor or not doesn't matter for whether bad actors use it. The capabilities are rather well known. Its vulnerabilities aren't, but vulnrabilities do not a backdoor make.
