HN discussionI was hoping they would test chip bags, because it was a plot device in the most recent Terminator movie. After searching, I found that Kaspersky has a blog post on the topic: https://usa.kaspersky.com/blog/terminator-dark-fate-chips/18...

HN discussionI always find this kind of stuff interesting. Albert Gonzales broke into a bunch of my work's servers (for years) at my first job, after a customer of ours pissed him off.
