Fantastico.
Anzitutto dobbiamo veramente fare i complimenti agli ingegneri che hanno progettato questi chip (e che probabilmente ci leggono in copia :-D).
Idea brillante eseguita splendidamente. Bravi.
Since the implants were small, the amount of code they contained was
small as well. But they were capable of doing two very important things:
telling the device to communicate with one of several anonymous
computers elsewhere on the internet that were loaded with more complex
code; and preparing the device’s operating system to accept this new
code. 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.
Ma vi immaginate i commenti al Pentagono?
"come si permettono sti Cinesi! Mettere una backdoor nella nostra backdoor! Non vale!" :-D
La cosa più divertente però non è la reazione cinese al cyber-imperialismo statunitense.
Anzi, sono gentili ed accomodanti!
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a statement that said “China is
a resolute defender of cybersecurity.” [...]
“We hope parties make less
gratuitous accusations and suspicions but conduct more constructive talk
and collaboration so that we can work together in building a peaceful,
safe, open, cooperative and orderly cyberspace.”
Veramente divertente è la totale, assoluta, cecità dell'Europa sulla guerra in corso.
