> In 2006, the State Department bans Lenovo computers from their network. After MI5 identified “backdoors” and vulnerable firmware in Lenovo products, their computers are banned from the intelligence networks of all Five-Eyes countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States.
> The military isn't taking chances. In 2008, Marines stationed in Iraq stopped using Lenovo tech after discovering data was being transmitted back to China. The U.S. Air Force replaced $378 million worth of servers purchased by Lenovo
> Lenovo faced uproar when it emerged in 2015 that it had hidden an advert-delivering program made by Superfish on hundreds of thousands of computers
