Counterfeit
and fake parts.
Counterfeit Technology is becoming a serious
military matter. Counterfeiting of luxury goods—perfume, women's
accessories, music CDs, etc.—is pretty common. While this poses a
threat to the profits of some high-end businesses, it generally doesn't
rise to the level of a national security issue. But that may be
starting to change. Apparently some technogeeks in the United States
Department of Defense have discovered that recent military purchases of
replacement parts and even whole new computer equipment (CPUs, routers,
etc.) have often included counterfeit
components. That is, items
produced by an unlicensed manufacturer, usually in Asia, that are
labeled and marketed as the real thing. Generally counterfeits are
superficially indistinguishable from the real thing, but tend to be of
lower quality. In short, counterfeit
components in critical systems
could behave in ways not anticipated, or create dangerous situations by
failing in unanticipated ways.
Counterfeit parts have already been involved in causing accidents
in civilian aviation, and failures in other sectors as well. But
there's more. Counterfeit electronic parts can have components added
that make it easier for someone to take control of a network the
component is part of.
