Frustrating that the article doesn’t specify and simply links to a different Github page which doesn’t clearly specify the problem either.

I have to assume the site’s article was dynamically generated, without any actual tech journalist doing the reporting. The byline is “Sansec Forensics Team” which doesn’t even link out to the group. Also, the “Chinese Company” isn’t named either it the article or the references, which is incredibly shoddy reporting. The archive link is dead.

This whole page is indicative of the failed state of tech journalism. A genuinely explosive story but its so threadbare and vague that it becomes meaningless.
