Translation of the NSA statement:<p>We don&#x27;t deny altering hardware. In fact, if we (likely) install backdoors into hardware used by foreign intelligence targets; but don&#x27;t worry, we&#x27;re not interested in the casual user. As the US Government relies on commercial hardware, we make sure that only the US Government can access the backdoors. We&#x27;re angry that this was made public, and we can&#x27;t prove that it jeopardizes human lives.

This reminds me of a story about a TOR developer who suspected her keyboard from Amazon was intercepted and implanted, because the redirection was included in the delivery log. Seems quite likely it was, in light of Glenn&#x27;s latest slides release.<p><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140124/10564825981/nsa-interception-action-tor-developers-computer-gets-mysteriously-re-routed-to-virginia.shtml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.techdirt.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;20140124&#x2F;10564825981&#x2F;nsa-in...</a>

How much hardware is actually made in the USA anymore? Most HW is manufactured in Taiwan, China, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia or maybe Mexico. I used to work for a router manufacturer that manufactured all of its equipment in Taiwan and Mexico. When we shipped to someone in Europe(for example) we shipped directly from Taiwan to Europe, not through the US. So I have to wonder how much of this stuff the NSA could actually get their hands on.<p>The other question I have is what happens when there is an RMA, or the equipment is sent back for repair? Might someone notice that it&#x27;s been tampered with? We need more specifics to really understand what was going on here. So many questions, no real answers.

So is it safe to assume every Intel or AMD CPU also likely has hidden capabilities waiting to be exploited by the NSA?

How can we protect ourselves from this type of interception? It seems impossible. Why would any non-american customers buy US made devices? Any protections that are added can&#x2F;will be bypassed if the US gov gets physical access (or even remote).

I wish they posted more details surrounding the implants, what they can do, and how they work. Knowing this would help us detect when devices were compromised.

Can HN please stop censoring&#x2F;penalizing NSA stories? Getting flagged is one thing, but I believe they are also penalized by the site.
