“The Senate Armed Services Committee’s year-long investigation into counterfeit electronic parts in military weapons systems has revealed a problem that goes beyond the military. In looking at a small segment of the defense supply chain, the committee’s investigative staff found 1,800 cases of counterfeit electronic parts in critical military weapons systems. ‘The total number of individual suspected parts involved in those cases exceeded one million,’ says the investigation.”

This is another very important perspective to “cyber security.”
