Those people are the worse by far in the list of countries hacking other people and they cry the most about it...

I predicted when stuxnet et al was discovered, the US just sent the international signal that state vs state hacking is A-OK, it will return to bite them in the ass.

You need a prayer. Smoke signals, whispers, a look, telepathy, those are your private communication channels...for now.

Thats a very wrong assessment.

For outsourced manufacturing, "Made" in most cases means assembled. The software,chips etc is developed by the company on whose behalf the stuff is being manufactured.

For example, iPhone.

good to know .. my ISP is a third party provider and it is owned by Chinese ... does this make me more vulnerable than the service provided by recognized Providers?
