The FBI announced Friday that an investigation into the sale of counterfeit network components made in China to the U.S. government has recovered about 3,500 fake devices with a value of $3.5 million.
The criminal probe, code-named Operation Cisco Raider, was prompted by concerns that counterfeit network components could give hackers access to government databases. But one U.S. official told Reuters that the components discovered by the FBI are not believed to have made government computer systems more vulnerable.
