Jack Writes: The FBI announced Friday that an investigation into counterfeit network components made in China and sold to the U.S. government has recovered about 3,500 fake devices with a value of $3.5 million.

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.
