NSA spies through Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital hard drives!

Old news honestly.

>>60267955
are SSDs affected?

>>60268127
This really.

Why doesn't /g/ create their own storage drive brand?

I'll make the logo.

Thankfully they save this kind of exploits only for HVTs

Got news for ya. The NSA has sabotaged every security protocol they "helped" develop since the late 80s.

YFW, the NSA is more responsible for corporate security breaches than any other organization in the world.

>>60267955
bahaha have you been living under a rock?

Is hitachi safe?
Or any other manufacturer?

>>60268508
No

All right. How deep do I need to go in order to remove the spyware?

Is it the same story with flash drives?

>Everything is compromised
What's even the point any more?

We're already loving cyberpunk hell

So they know about my lolicon?

>>60270271
I hope so I got some dank shit that I don't always have time to dump places.

Kingston master race

Just replace the control chips with your own. The mechanical part is fine.

>>60268716
this. don't use selinux.
the only reliable OS so far is BSDs and Solaris (and some obselete OSS OS)

How is this not common knowledge?

>nonfree firmware

>>60270214
The NSA can't compromise RAM, or so I think.
Newest freetard solution: Buy a 2007 Xeon server, load it up with RAM. PXE boot. Enjoy your 128GB RAM disk.

>>60267955
We already know slowpoke

>>60270173

>implying they haven't compromised the raid controller as well

>>60267955
And people wonder why the Chinese want to make everything in house and exclude us based companies.

>>60267955
LMAO at an FSB front throwing shade at the NSA. What absurd times we live in.

Why isn't it possible or easy (and maybe it is in which case I'm asking how) to just block all outgoing traffic that isn't explicitly from something you've given permission?

>connecting your shit to the internet
You asked for it.

>>60268432
>Compromise security protocols you develop, get your government to adopt and promote these dud protocols
>Your and yours stuff uses them everywhere, because they are deemed "nominally secure" since only you have the super sekrit unlock code.
>Foreigners look at your strange protocols, then figure out/steal/buy unlock codes
>Fucked totally

That doesn't make it any less important, gov shills.

I'm using samsung :^)
Best korea.

>>60268427
what would we call it? give me some ideas

Wouldn't full dmcrypt+luks just stop that? Because no unencrypted data gets written to the disk…

>/g/ threads in the last two months
>CPU is breached
>your phone is breached
>Loonix is breached
>Mobo is breached
>Now your storage also breached
>next they gonna breached your mom

Is there any point for me to care anymore?
Seems like the only way for /g/ to avoid this is by living like caveman in a forest.

>>60270850
it's possible as long as you have one device that isn't compromised
chances are each step in your house is backdoored though

Yes there's still a point. It's not the same to have the NSA alone spying on you than Google, Facebook, FBI, Eurocucks, the Chinese, the Russians, Microsoft, Lenovo and your own government in case youre not a shart in mart.

>>60270810
They want to embed their own spy hardware.

>>60271398
so we supposed to live like a caveman now?

>>60270726
Most people don't care.

>>60271314
totaly /g/ay

>>60271417
yes

Use a ram drive to run the OS from and a script to block all internet traffic when your drives start/spin up. Maybe, also a script that shuts/spins down the drive whenever you access the internet.

>>60271306
Samsung is on the list too ya moran

Here is a list of who isn't on the list:
>Kingston
>Micron (Crucial)
>Corsair
>Intel (Though they have back doors in their CPUs so I wouldn't trust them)

I did not include SanDisk or HGST (Hitachi) because they are subsidiaries of Western Digital.

There are probably tons of other SEAsian brands that I did not include but, they're shit anyway.
