They build spying capacity into the chips.

The only way to certify is to remove all chips that could cross communicate.

And do you think that inspection has been done at that level for the past 30 years for all consumer electronics? USA buying stuff from China ain't new.

It's called chain of custody. Most people use software. Especially phishing.

FYI US government workers are forbidden to use uncertified Chinese chips in their data comms.

Anything that connects to the net can be compromised into a spy box. Go visit the Spy Museum and see what I'm talking about.

But yea, no one gives a shit about your talking Furby - unless it is wifi or BT connected.
