I don't think China will take this market by storm here. They'll have first much fun with the certification

Somewhat off topic. Just to show why we take the topic so seriously here.
"‘China and Russia:
Bitkom: More cyberattacks from abroad
13.05.2024 | 12:18
The digital association Bitkom warns that China and Russia in particular have recently launched more cyberattacks on German infrastructure. The BKA takes a similar view.
Cybercrime is increasingly threatening local authorities and companies. Last year, attacks from abroad increased by almost 30 per cent. They caused billions in damage.
The digital association Bitkom warns of an increasing number of cyber attacks from China and Russia. Within two years, the number of attacks from Russia has doubled, said Managing Director Bernhard Rohleder on ZDF's ‘Morgenmagazin’ programme.
80 per cent of companies were affected by attacks such as data theft, espionage or sabotage. According to the association,
46 per cent of the attacks could be traced back to Russia and
42 per cent to China.
The police database, as well as the findings of individual IT security service providers, show a renewed upward trend in cyber attacks in 2023, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Extract from BKA situation report ‘Cybercrime’
Cases that cause damage in Germany but where the location of the perpetrator is abroad or unknown are particularly responsible for this development.
According to the 2023 Federal Situation Report, the number of cybercrime offences recorded abroad rose by around 28% compared to the previous year. With regard to Germany, the police crime statistics for the same period recorded a slight decrease in cybercrimes of 1.8 per cent.
Cyber attacks cost a good 200 billion euros
Ransomware attacks, in which criminals encrypt the data of companies or public administration and demand a ransom for decryption, continue to be among the most serious threats. Nationwide, more than 800 companies and institutions reported cases of ransomware in 2023, according to the Federal Situation Report.
Cybercrime once again caused high amounts of damage in 2023, as the BKA explained and referred to figures from the digital association Bitkom. According to these figures, the total damage caused to companies
in Germany by analogue and digital theft, industrial espionage and sabotage amounted to 205.9 billion euros.
According to Bitkom, almost three quarters of this total damage can be attributed to cyberattacks. The explicitly reported losses caused by blackmail with stolen or encrypted data totalled 16.1 billion euros.’"

So, now I'm looking forward to the first person to argue that the USA is by no means innocent and is doing us just as much harm

I'm already giving the answer in advance:
88% of the damage comes from these two countries alone. This is followed by North Korea, the Balkans and the Middle East, for example. There is not much left for the USA. The answer I always get from those who still believe in the old world where the USA could be blamed for everything:
It's not all black and white. There is also grey in between.
So maybe 2 or 3% of the grey remains for the USA.)
Personally, I say yes to US tec or from Korea or Japan, bring it on!
Just my opinion.
I'll withdraw again. Not a nice topic, but still very good for Brainchip. This could be a real game changer.
