I don't get this back and forth

It's a very curious case.

All the evidence says Bloomberg's story is fake and their sources lied to them.
But Bloomberg is defending it to the end, they are not dumb they surely have something.

Try to follow the money. Those 17 "high level government sources" were probably NSA and DoD officials trying to get more funding for their agencies by scaring Congress.

>Risky Business Feature: Named source in "The Big Hack" has doubts about the story

It's a 18 minute podcast, in which the source distances himself from Bloombergs story.

So, there is that.
I do agree that it is most curious that Bloomberg is so persistent though.

I'm confident that there is at least some truth to it. If you ask me, it's most likely that they've been aware for some time, and likewise only used compromised hardware for lesser tasks, effectively preventing China from pushing the matter any further. Either they're satisfied with what they have, or they're not, but don't want to risk bringing too much attention to themselves.

I worked at an NSA command for the past two years. We had to get a router for one of our networks and it was mandated that it had to be made in the US. We went on GSA Advantage and got a router that was described as being made in the US, only to receive it and see a sticker on the box that read "Assembled in the UK" and of course, on the unit itself, "Made in China". I never did find out what happened after that, as I just left the service, but take that for what you will.

This idiot will find the Chinese bug and will sue and win Apple.

They used to make lots of interesting articles that stayed away from politics with an interesting analysis and fresh interviews (and they still do) but since 1-2 years ago they started to host 'editorial opinions' that were shit and now this probably to get the attention and more profit.

>I worked at an NSA command for the past two years.
Are you allowed to talk about your experiences there?

As long as it isn't classified and doesn't impact the mission, sure. GSA Advantage isn't a secret, you can go there right now and look at the routers they have for open purchase.

was it that vietnamese dude that was responsible for the nsa tools leak because he brought it to his home computer illegally

when someone makes a claim like this, with the event affecting a massive scale, it helps to have some evidence that's physical
