Recently, some Taiwanese media outlets reported that VIA's security chips may contain a backdoor for monitoring purposes. In response, VIA has strongly denied the allegations and stated that it is considering legal action against those spreading the rumors.
The report was reportedly based on statements from a Taiwanese legislator, who cited a case in Hong Kong. According to the claim, VIA was accused of embedding a backdoor in its VT3421/TF376 security chip to assist the Chinese government in monitoring illegal organizations.
During a hearing, an executive from VIA, Steven Lee, admitted that there was a procedure in place that could be interpreted as a backdoor. However, he clarified that this was solely for testing and not intended for any surveillance activities.
The case reportedly originated from a lawsuit filed by China Unicom, where customers claimed they experienced data breaches and issues with the chip’s performance.
The VT3421/TF376 security chip is widely used across various industries. It can be found in smartphones, set-top boxes, and wireless communication devices from major companies such as Samsung, Honda, and Shanghai General Motors. Many Chinese electronics manufacturers also rely on this chip for their products.
Despite the recent controversy, VIA continues to emphasize its commitment to cybersecurity and transparency. The company has reiterated that it follows strict compliance standards and does not engage in any unauthorized data collection or surveillance activities.
