"compromise of all units of one or more models in the factory (you)"
_What_
I never mentioned anything like that. tptacek suggested that is what I meant, I directly said that was not. I've said I think subverting or weakening hardware/software for surveillance would be bad thing, not that the NSA has backdoored 100% of Huawei's products. I asked tptacek to stop making distortions because of this right here. I am running out of different ways to state this, why is is tptacek a primary source for what others say?
Back onto the comment I responded to initially, Chinese hardware makers do sell to the US so methods to subvert their devices do have US domestic ramifications. This would be contrary to what parent comment suggested.
- frankzinger 13y agoSorry, I didn't mean to put words in your mouth. I did say "one or more models in the factory," i.e. not 100%, because you clearly stated you didn't mean that. I just thought it wasn't completely clear that you weren't both talking about compromise in the factory. I guess I misunderstood you.
- streetnigga 13y agoNo problemo. On the topic of TAO I highly doubt subversion at the factory. Though I do believe the monolithic designs of the day from Samsung and Apple surely delight intel agencies like the NSA. Must shorten delays in redirecting shipments substantially!
