    Fishy Chips

    In 2010, the U.S. military had a problem. It had bought over 59,000 microchips destined for installation in everything from missile defense systems to gadgets that tell friend from foe. The chips turned out to be counterfeits from China, but it could have been even worse. Instead of crappy Chinese fakes being put into Navy weapons systems, the chips could have been hacked, able to shut off a missile in the event of war or lie around just waiting to malfunction.

    No such thing as hack proof.

    Well,that's what we get for being in bed with China........first they try to kill our kids and pets now they giving us fake computer chips. Not shocked at all anymore when it comes to our "partnership" with China.
