China’s infosec leads accuse Intel of NSA backdoor, cite chip security flaws

A Chinese industry group has accused Intel of backdooring its CPUs, in addition to other questionable security practices while calling for an investigation into the chipmaker, claiming its products pose “serious risks to national security.” The Cybersecurity Association of China (CSAC), in a lengthy post on its WeChat account on Wednesday described Intel’s chips as being riddled with vulnerabilities, adding that the American company’s “major defects in product quality and security management show its extremely irresponsible attitude towards customers.”
