It might not have been useful to you, but it was useful to the people who might be targets of this type of attack. I know of at least two organizations that are now randomly x-raying datacenter components and comparing them to reference designs. You also seem to confuse an article being helpful to you with an article being correct. You clearly are not in a line of work where you need to worry about this, and that is ok. But it does not invalidate the article at all. The NSA's TRINITY chip circa 2008 was smaller than a penny and the workhorse behind implants that hid inside ethernet headers on motherboards and USB cables. The CIA has a team dedicated to interdicting shipments and modifying firmware or hardware. It is absolutely foolish to assume other countries intelligence services are not capable of the same. |
