The Pentagon Denies the F-35 Has a Kill Switch, but Its Software Demands Amount to the Same Thing

lmao it absolutely has kill switches. And I all but guarantee they go beyond the already onerous ecosystem and software demands.

I’d wager some of the kill switches go below software and are hardwired in at the chip level.

Are you implying a massive company would collaborate with a government to build hidden backdoors into the hardware?!

Pshaw!

Revelations that the NSA has compromised hardware for surveillance highlights the vulnerability of computer systems to such attacks.

MIT Technology Review

thanks for the link backing this up! I read about it in a book but got lazy and didn’t want to try to hunt down a source lol.
