It is shocking to think the hardware and on the phones we buy can be infected by malicious software before a user even uses it. This article does not confirm that there were malicious hardware chips within apple phones but questions if it has happened where which Super Micro states its highly unlikely. To pull this off a hacker would need to have a highly sophisticated plan and would need access to many resources within the company. I’d say an attack like this is possible since many hackers have the time because they have turned their attacks into a business which makes them money. I question why our government allows other countries produce our cellphone and computer devices when we do not truly know what other countries are capable of doing to the device before it is sent to America.
