Bad Examples

I've noticed two examples in the Examples section that should not appear on this page:

1. 2012: Chinese device manufacturer found to carry a backdoor

This is not a hardware backdoor; rather it is a software backdoor that was baked into software that was installed on a limited set of hardware.

2. October 2018: Bloomberg reported an Attack by Chinese spies that infiltrated 30 US companies

This has been proven to be false and should be removed.^[1]
