Security backdoor found in China-made US military chip.
A microchip used by the US military and manufactured in China contains a secret "backdoor" that means it can be shut off or reprogrammed without the user knowing, according to researchers at Cambridge University's Computing Laboratory.
...The "bug" is in the actual chip itself, rather than the firmware installed on the devices that use it. This means there is no way to fix it than to replace the chip altogether.
Segnalo un'analisi più prudente da parte di Robert Graham: http://erratasec.blogspot.it/2012/05/bogus-story-no-chinese-backdoor-in.html
(e complimenti per l'ottimo lavoro!)
