Re: Apparently China just can't resist embedding spyware (It's worse - lots worse. See Post #32)
On Hack-a-day there was an article, that a device, a smart device such as a fax machine connected to one's in-home network, could be sent a PICTURE with embedded data code hidden within.. If you recall in olden days, Windows Media Player files, and PDF files even could have executables within.. (the fax described was a modern HP all-in-one fax machine, printer, scanner, etc..)
One's smart TV, connected to the internet.. sent a message, or for that matter a certain still image or a certain movie.. bang.. one's internet to home network infiltrated.. did the actual consumer product manufacturer know it's product could do that? Maybe, maybe not.. was it chip level, code level, firmware level, modified circuit board..
It's serious. Tip of the iceberg may be more like a hornet's nest has been opened.. how deep it goes? Will our security agencies work with us to solve it, or are they part of a cover-up? Big questions to ask..
