China Has Invented Miraculous Hack-Proof Processor And Operating System?
from the some-skepticism-please? dept
Tim Lee points us to a somewhat (unintentionally) amusing article claiming that China has somehow developed a security "hardened" microprocessor and operation system that is effectively hackproof. Of course, there's no evidence of this presented whatsoever. And, it's somewhat difficult to believe that such a "security hardened" system could exist -- especially in a case where it's never actually been tested out in the real world against those who have incentive to hack it. So why does the reporter parrot these claims as if they're simple fact?Thank you for reading this Techdirt post.

That's because the system was hacked and the data stolen.

If it does exist
[ link to this | view in thread ]
It's not totally implausable
Then it'd be hack proof.
It'd be usefulness proof, too. But it would be hack proof.

And
They also proved the existence of God, cured the common cold, invented time travel, perfected reanimation of dead cells, and made Fran Drescher speak in a way that is pallitable to non-Long Island Americans.
China Rules!!! (Disclaimer: Some of the above claims may contain lead paint)

Then even if malware would installed on accident by an authorized user it still couldn't compromise the security of the system.

The best hack proof computer I have ever even heard about was from my teacher in college; take a sledge hammer to it and when you're finished make absolutely sure that there isn't a single piece larger than a dime. This way it cannot be hacked locally or remotely.

Objective
Strange, I didn't see that claim in the story. Just that it was "designed to be impenetrable", meaning that that was a design objective, not that it has been proven to be so.
