Robbed and Unbothered: NXP’s Comedic Shrug to Chinese Hackers’ Two-Year Heist
When Chinese hackers stole semiconductor designs from NXP, the company responded with a shrug, like a victim of theft taunting the thief with, ‘Good luck figuring out my vintage typewriter!’ Apparently, their chip designs are too complex to replicate. Let’s hope their confidence isn’t misplaced, or it’ll be more than just their typewriter on the line.
Hot Take:
Well, it seems like NXP, the Dutch semiconductor titan, has been playing host to some unwanted guests. Chinese hackers, aka the Chimera group, decided to call NXP's network home for over two years stealing chip designs. But NXP's response? A nonchalant shrug. They think their designs are too complex to be replicated anyway. It's like getting robbed and saying, "Good luck figuring out how to use my vintage typewriter, suckers!"Already a member? Log in here
