Bloomberg Reportsed on Chinese Spy Chip Incident in 2018 (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies).
Well,7 years have passed, and there is no reason not to believe that the hardware technology and camouflage will be more advanced. Fake chip laser silk screen and even chip pins can be completely camouflaged.
Since 90% of the motherboards supported by coreboot are produced in China, it is not impossible to Perform chip-level camouflage attacks and hardware supply chain attacks.
Imagine how terrifying it would be for a chip on the motherboard to be a spy chip disguised with normal silk screen and pins. Politics and espionage techniques are not discussed, I would like to ask whether this will happen, whether there will be targeted hardware implants for open source BIOS-enabled hardware, whether BIOS-level or OS-level such as coreboot or other released version(libreboot,heads,etc.) can defend against such attacks, how to resove these problem and how to prevent them ?
