Ok .ml, you all are known for your unbiased China takes after all....
Ram would be a really hard component to supply chain attack. It doesn’t store anything when powered off, so you’d need another chip on the board that can store your attack and that’d stick out like a sore thumb.
It also requires incredibly low latency, so low that trace lengths need to be optimized in order to deliver data accurately. So stream manipulation is out the window.
You’re left with searching through the contents looking for something juicy and that requires some kind of extra sore thumb chip that can’t go fast because it doesn’t have a heatsink.
Plus it’s been standard practice to harden the memory of libraries and programs and even operating systems to avoid stuff like the old Intel hyper threading attacks for at least fifteen years now, so there’s a reduced attack surface.
No one’s supply chain attacking your ram.
That doesn't have anything to do with anything anyone was talking about, except that .ml accounts reflexively defend China....
And no one ever needs more of those examples.
