State-owned channel Rossiya 24 even showed footage of a technician
opening up an iron included in a batch of Chinese imports to find a "spy
chip" with what he called "a little microphone". Its correspondent said
the hidden devices were mostly being used to spread viruses, by
connecting to any computer within a 200m (656ft) radius which were using
unprotected Wi-Fi networks. Other products found to have rogue
components reportedly included mobile phones and car dashboard cameras.
The report quoted one customs brokerage professional as
saying the hidden chips had been used to infiltrate company networks,
sending out spam without administrators' knowledge. News agency
Rosbalt
reports that while the latest delivery of appliances was rejected by
officials, more than 30 devices had already been sent to retailers in St
Petersburg.
