\u201cYou know, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way. Because I\u2019ll tell you what: No computer is safe (\u2026) I don\u2019t care what they say.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

President-Elect Donald Trump<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the waning days of the fading Obama presidency, plenty of questions surfaced about Russia\u2019s involvement with the hacks of the DNC and election systems. Electronic evidence can be easily manipulated.<\/p>\n

There is more to it than just electronic evidence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

IBM has systematically betrayed America by selling US technology vital to the national security of its home nation to China:<\/strong><\/p>\n

STEP 1:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0The Chinese manufacturer Lenovo was able to acquire\u00a0IBM\u2019s PC division<\/strong> in a fire sale, for pennies on the Dollar, in 2004<\/strong>,<\/p>\n

STEP 2:<\/u><\/strong> Lenovo then acquired IBM\u2019s Server division, <\/strong>also in a fire sale,\u00a0for pennies on the Dollar, in 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Through these two acquisitions, China obtained valuable know-how related to Intel’s x86 architecture including Intel’s Active Management Technology (AMT), an undetectable backdoor which presents a national security risk for the United States<\/strong>. This knowledge allows the Chinese government to hack<\/strong> into any computer using the Intel x86 architecture and **remain undetected**. <\/strong>The technology was designed as Intel\u2019s own backdoor for maintenance, but it can be misused for malicious activities. It gives China on-demand access to any U.S. cloud or U.S. data center running on Intel x86.<\/strong><\/p>\n

IBM has also betrayed America on at least one other occasion:<\/p>\n

STEP 3:<\/u><\/strong> IBM gave away the POWER<\/strong> technology to China through an illicit backdoor deal <\/strong>(please see [1] below). To cover its tracks, IBM used an open source initiative, OpenPOWER Foundation, as a smoke screen<\/strong> for what could be otherwise seen as treason<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The results of these actions are far-reaching. They also pose a long-term danger to the United States on several fronts.<\/p>\n

THE RESULTS AND THE DANGER THEY POSE TO THE UNITED STATES<\/h2>\n

In a nutshell: The Chinese government can hack into any US clouds, any U.S. data centers and most mainframes while remaining totally **undetectable**. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Russians are being used as scapegoats.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Undetectable hacking capabilities on Intel x86 systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Through its front Lenovo, the Chinese government has the capability to hack <\/strong>into all systems<\/strong> running Intel\u2019s market-leading x86 architecture \u2014 including AWS GovCloud, the private cloud of the Central Intelligence Agency \u2014 and remain undetected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Intrusion capabilities within the U.S. financial system\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With Lenovo\u2019s technology acquired from IBM, China can hack into all POWER-based Mainframes.<\/strong> \u00a0These systems run America\u2019s financial institutions (including American Express, Citi Group and others), insurance companies, stock markets, etc. They are all vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Cryptographic superiority<\/h3>\n

China has an enviable ability to decode any data, even very strongly encrypted, for example prerecorded communications. America\u2019s secrets are no longer secret. The Chinese have declared open season on both the U.S. federal government and the public sector, including defense.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that bleak!<\/p>\n

In theory, Intel\u2019s ME firmware is cryptographically protected with RSA 2048, but unfortunately this is just a walk in the park for China\u2019s top-of-the-list supercomputers:<\/p>\n
