Let’s dive into an alarming reality we face today—semiconductors, the very pieces of technology that power our devices, are not just crucial components; they’re the target of cyberattacks that could threaten our national security.Think about it: semiconductors are in everything from our smartphones to military equipment.

To infiltrate and extract invaluable data that could cripple this critical sector.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
