This article is more or less total bullshit. At _best_ that device might be a mechanism to cause failure intentionally. And there are tons of ways to detect it with commodity technology, and plenty of vendors who implement that technology for assembly manufactures commercially.

That’s what I thought but then it says it’s hooked to the BMC bus. It’s basically a small IME device with no java bloatware to run. I’d think it’s reasonably credible

My issue isn't whether or not it's possible for hardware to be insecure or whether or not it's possible for exploits to exist.

My issue is this Chinese undetectable super chip creating unpreventable wide-scale vulnerabilities.

For what it's worth, I've worked in hardware security and I own a hardware quality control startup.
