This gets increasingly scary. Whats next, invisible drones with cameras? Sad

They hide them behind holograms depicting normal weather. eg. clouds, blue sky, stars..

The next question should be.. "is there a kill switch built into our tech ?"

You have a lot more to worry about than SSD firmware controllers. Your entire system you're using right now is a pile of proprietary hardware slapped together, often running it's own operating system you have no control over.

Something wild about all this is the whole "If you're not doing anything illegal, then you shouldn't have anything to hide" mentality. Has anyone posted the home addresses and bank/brokerage account info of the NSA employees yet?

And you think that the KGB only found out about this by reading
the newspapers?  They probably had access to whatever they
wanted for maybe a year. Thank you NSA (and the horse you
rode in on)

WARNING: The zionist/facists created the commies and the greedy capitalist pigs for our entertainment.

There is no good or bad guy or true competition. Its been staged to divide and conquer us.

Want proof ? Show me a Russian or made, gpu, cpu, operating system ect.

Any chance to prevent this or maybe some kind of software that can detect the backdoor?

Hard to believe at least some NSA employees haven't plundered some big btc wallets.  If they all managed to resist the urge it'd go against the entire history of human behavior.

These people are paid to grope children and go out of their way to fuck with people's lives.



There is little doubt in my mind that some/many hold the firmware's digital keys.

In other words, ANYTHING is possible.

if you think this is new news then i guess you missed the fact that project ECHELON has been around since before most people were even born.

While this is true, the HDD firmware/spyware scam has slammed and sealed that coffin shut.

Toss in a wireless transmitter and your cold storage is ... well .. you know.

If anonymity is important to you stay away from computers and phones and use cash, end of story.

Is that an Obomba phone up your ass ?

But this is not the way it should be. Clearly this is a MASSIVE breach of privacy and is downright illegal. If a citizen hacked into these companies or the government they'd get sent to jail for a very long time. People really need to be up in arms about this illegal behavior and abuses of power because where does it stop? This is far worse than what Orwell ever envisioned.
