The U.S. Military may have been using a whole slew of counterfeit computer chips in its systems, leaving it open to security breaches that could lead to information leaks or worse, according to the FBI.
During a two-year period, Operation Cisco Raider has lead to 15 criminal cases in which counterfeit products were bought and used by military agencies, military contractors and electric power companies. According to the New York Times, "36 search warrants have been executed, resulting in the discovery of 3,500 counterfeit Cisco network components with an estimated retail value of more than $3.5 million, the F.B.I. said in a statement."
But the U.S. Military isn't just taking this lying down. The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (or DARPA) has initiated a Trusted Integrated Circuits program with the aim of strengthening the country's defense against network security breaches.
