不懂技术,只看到别人的评论,都是转的,我是信的
The little bit of technical meat:
The illicit chips could do all this because they were connected to the baseboard management controller, a kind of superchip that administrators use to remotely log in to problematic servers, giving them access to the most sensitive code even on machines that have crashed or are turned off.
So it hijacked the intentionally included backdoor already present.
这种东西现在查了3年,就那么一个米粒大小的芯片出现在中国组装的主板上。你怎么解释?
你问我这芯片到底是什么,我也不知道啊,我只知道人家公布了调查了三年得出的结论:
investigators determined that the chips allowed the attackers to create a stealth doorway into any network that included the altered machines.
调查人员发现这些米粒大小的芯片可以给攻击者敞开一个可以进入任何网络包括修改硬件的后门。
Odd to me that some find this news funny or want to argue which technical term is correct. If this “Big Hack” had gone unnoticed, Amazon might have acquired a company that has government contracts that include drone data from the battlefield. Just because our dollars spent on Chinese products have funded an Industrial revolution in China does not mean their government is our best friend. Espionage at this level could be considered an act of war. The article mentions 30 companies that were affected. That is probably a guess. If an enemy has a backdoor into key supply chains a cyber attack could do more damage than a nuke.

Would like to see a little more technical details on this hack. Any others similar to this discovered?
