Electric buses in Norway and Denmark that were manufactured in China were all found to be equipped with a remotely activated kill switch.
Not military equipment like the F35, but stuff that would shut down civil society.

Why worry about explosives when all you need to do is make a phone call.

Denmark is taking urgent action with its 262 Chinese buses after Norwegian city made startling discovery while testing them
After a startling security issue was discovered in Chinese buses in Norway, Denmark is having to make a frantic decision over its fleet too

Isn't this a risk to any "Smart" device that is connected to the Internet? Doesn't have to be a product that is produced by an enemy state as long as there are any security vulnerabilities in the product they could potentially be hacked by a 3rd party. Not sure what the solution is unless you want to roll back the smart device revolution.Electric buses in Norway and Denmark that were manufactured in China were all found to be equipped with a remotely activated kill switch.

Obviously we should avoid products in key systems that are produced by nations that we already consider potential adversaries and we should work on protecting our key infrastructure from potential hacks.

Fucking. Madness.
Excuse the language, but I think the emphasis is warranted, in this case.

I am not and have not been a fan of IoT, the internet of things. Nor am I a great fan of Bluetooth, especially in production settings. I like hard wire. I like air gaps. I like transferring data through hard media like disks and flashdrives. I like paper documentation.
I agree it slows things down but it allows for supervision and control.

The IDF is recalling hundreds of Chinese made EV's given to Officers, they are worried about the intelligence risk
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are recalling approximately 700 Chinese-made vehicles, primarily the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro model, over espionage fears. Israeli security agencies warned that the vehicles' built-in systems could potentially be used to collect and transmit sensitive information to external servers.
Details of the Recall
Affected Vehicles: The recall impacts about 700 vehicles, mostly seven-seat SUVs from the Chinese manufacturer Chery that were assigned to senior IDF officers and their families. Other Chinese-made models, such as the MG ZS EV, have also been in use by the IDF but the focus of this action is mainly the Chery models.
Reason for Recall: The decision was made following a risk assessment by Israeli security services which determined that the vehicles' electronic systems—including cameras, microphones, and connectivity features—pose a potential threat of data leakage or intelligence collection. The vehicles are considered "computers on wheels" and "mobile intelligence platforms" capable of gathering geolocation and other data.
Timeline and Scope: The process of withdrawing the vehicles is expected to continue until early 2026, starting with officers in sensitive positions.
Previous Measures and Context: Earlier attempts to "sterilize" the media systems and disable connectivity features were deemed insufficient to mitigate the risk fully. This action follows a previous, broader ban on all Chinese-made cars from entering military bases due to similar security concerns.
