Bogus story: no Chinese backdoor in military chip

http://j.mp/JxLp93  (Errata Security)

   "Today's big news is that researchers have found proof of Chinese
    manufacturers putting backdoors in American chips that the military
    uses. This is false. While they did find a backdoor in a popular FPGA
    chip, there is no evidence the Chinese put it there, or even that it
    was intentionally malicious."

I agree with this article's analysis.  The original story was 
cyber-scaremongering.
