mek21 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 (edited) After all, what would a bunch of totalitarian technocratic privacy invading commie hackers know about government snooping? A Chinese industry group has accused Intel of backdooring its CPUs, in addition to other questionable security practices while calling for an investigation into the chipmaker, claiming its products pose "serious risks to national security." https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/16/china_intel_chip_security/?td=rt-9cs On Thursday, Intel took (sic) used its account on Chinese social network WeChat account to say: We have noted the relevant media reports. As a multinational company with nearly 40 years of operations in China, Intel strictly abides by the laws and regulations applicable to its business locations. Intel always puts product safety and quality first and has been actively working with customers and the industry to ensure product safety and quality. We will maintain communication with relevant departments to clarify relevant questions and demonstrate our firm commitment to product safety and quality. Which responds to the claims of vulnerabilities and poor quality, but doesn't quite address the backdoor allegations – unless Intel means to say backdooring its products for Uncle Sam would break Chinese law, and it's not breaking any laws. https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/18/intel_china_security_allegations/ Edited October 21 by mek21 updated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
