From Espionage to Iced Lattes: The Not-So-Secret Two-Year Breach of NXP by Chimera

In this real-life spy thriller, Chimera, the villain with links to China, infiltrates Dutch chipmaker NXP’s network for over two years. It’s a classic case of ‘Chipmaker NXP Hacking’ with a twist – the baddies aren’t discovered until it’s decaf-latte-after-drinking-it too late. As they say in the biz, better late than never, right?

Hot Take:

Now, here's a spy thriller that would make James Bond proud. We have a villain group called "Chimera" with ties to China, a Dutch chipmaker named NXP, and a breach that lasted a whopping two years! Now that's some serious undercover work. But unlike our favourite spy movies, the goodies don’t discover the baddies until it's too late. It's like finding out your iced latte was decaf only after you've drunk it.
