Computers, personal and business, have come a long way since Atari and Commodore.
In fact I am using a China made one now, as are you and 99% of everyone else.
And Yes MUCH software is China Made.
And Yes, software may be ‘designed’ in the US, but the ’tweaking/code’ is ‘refined’ in China.
And Yes hardware can influence how Software operates.,
(Ask oldNslow)But that’s OK Eegore, people here understand that at one time,
Some still veraciously believed that the Earth was Flat.
(And some even yet, still say the Earth is Flat)When people believe today, a mask will protect you from a airborne virus.
WHEN IT SAYS,
ON THE PACKAGE THE MASK IS IN,
IT WILL NOT,
(WHICH WAS MADE IN CHINA)They will believe, Dong-Dong and HO-HO, are not total ‘installed’ puppets.
“On Jan. 10, 2020, NBC News said that despite assurances that voting machines were “not connected to the Internet,” cybersecurity experts claimed at the time that was not necessarily true.”
“In fact, Manfra wasn’t the only government official who made the claim that voting machines weren’t connected to the Internet. NBC reported at the time that numerous government officials had made the same claims,”

The connection between China and SolarWinds continues to unravel amid national security concerns over the massive cyber attack that struck the company last year.”
“According to a report by Reuters, the FBI has learned that the National Finance Center was affected by the cyber attack, potentially compromising thousands of government employees in what is now believed to be a Chinese operation.”
“It appears that the alleged Chinese hackers exploited a bug within the compromised Orion platform to “spread across” networks.”

“Google warned in June that state-sponsored hackers were targeting 2020 US election campaigns, and now it’s outlining some of the methods those perpetrators used. APT31, a group linked to China, impersonated McAfee (the antivirus software, not its indicted founder) in a bid to trick campaign workers into installing malware. While the software was a real copy stored in GitHub, the ploy would quietly install malware in the background.”
“Brute force attacks also played a role, Google added. They’re less common from state-backed groups, but Google pointed to a distributed denial of service attack in 2017 that illustrated the dangers. The tech pioneer had to absorb an attack using a whopping 2.5Tbps of bandwidth spread across several Chinese internet providers. “

A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did.”
“So many government officials like Manfra have said the same thing over the last few years that it is commonly accepted as gospel by most Americans. Behind it is the notion that if voting systems are not online, hackers will have a harder time compromising them.
But that is an overstatement, according to a team of 10 independent cybersecurity experts who specialize in voting systems and elections. While the voting machines themselves are not designed to be online, the larger voting systems in many states end up there, putting the voting process at risk.
That team of election security experts say that last summer, they discovered some systems are, in fact, online.
“We found over 35 [voting systems] had been left online and we’re still continuing to find more,” Kevin Skoglund, a senior technical advisor at the election security advocacy group National Election Defense Coalition, told NBC News.”
