I've similarly expressed this opinion openly on Twitter and then I was immediately harassed by Tavis Ormandy of Google Project Zero in my DMs with meme-y taunting messages.

It's odd how dismissive some supposedly-serious security researchers are of hardware implant capabilities.

This didn't happen, I have never DM'd you.

Not sure if I should downvote or upvote parent now :p

I love how well connected HN to tech world. Did you see that by chance or do you have some kind of an alert system set up ?

Well, a human alert system, a friend saw my name and sent me the link :)

I'm sorry for initially claiming that you DMed me a harassing ancient aliens meme in response to my comments regarding the Bloomberg hardware implant story.

I recall it being you, but it must not have been.

And it really doesn’t take much effort to sneak even a bashbunny into an internal USB header - especially in the last mile of the supply-chain.

Get a temp-job as a UPS delivery driver in an area that services the datacenter of your target, whenever you deliver a sever box - open it up, add your implant, re-seal it all in the privacy of the back of your delivery truck, and that’s it.

Can you show us the messages? He’s saying that never happened.
