Seriously if I could make evil semiconductors I would just replace one which is already present rather than adding it. Show me a picture of its alleged placement and then maybe we will have something to work with here, otherwise zero evidence.

Also this quote: “In one case, the malicious chips were thin enough that they’d been embedded between the layers of fiberglass onto which the other components were attached, according to one person who saw pictures of the chips.”

Yeah. That's definitely a thing, but it's quite invasive on the PCB manufacturing process, so you'd *really* want to hide things to go that route, and I'm not sure it's better than sticking it inside an IC package anyway. http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slib006/slib006.pdf …pic.twitter.com/IFwr3xYks5

This. It's sad, because presumably
@BW is a reputable publication, so we're inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt, but they aren't helping us at all. If some random were making these claims in a similar way I'd mostly likely write them off without further evidence. -
Even then, we've seen cases of knowledgeable security professionals develop mental illness and delusions. Just because you can articulate a plausible supply chain attack coherently doesn't mean it actually happened.

Absolutely. The only reason I'm giving this more credibility upfront than *that* incident is because I'm *assuming* multiple people were involved here and this doesn't all stem from one person's delusions.
