There is a possibility that the deliverer of the computerized network would install the "back door" programs in the components like microprocessors. And the programs might installed in the kernel, what controls the communication between the hardware and software. That virus can operate as the "logic bomb", which means it would erase the operating system from the microchips, and make the network useless.
This type of computer viruses can also infect mobile devices and computers, which are connected to the network. That kind of viruses is very devastating if they exist. Another threat is that those components would send the information what travels in the network to the third part, and the network itself is a very good tool for "man-in-middle attack".
Those I hope hypothetical computer viruses are very complicated, and maybe the threat is minimal. But as you see, those components, what are infected with computer viruses are making the vision of the new kind of threat true. That thing is the nano bugs or small size robots, which can slip independently in the houses and collect data from those targets.
Those miniature systems can reload their batteries from the microchips, what equipped with small size chargers, which are similar, that is used in the wireless chargers for mobile telephones. But they are smaller. The problem is that modern eavesdropping devices must not go into the house to get information. They can use laser- or radar microphones and small size cameras to record the things, what is going on in some house.
And those systems might be smaller than some microcircuit. Even those small size systems would have only limited optics and lasers, the support system operators might use the image handling and white voice removing programs for making the things, what is going on clear. And the solutions like "speech to text" solution makes the work of eavesdropper easier. The deliverer of the network can establish the remote control intelligence station in those boxes, where the electronics are installed. They can use those stations for sophisticated missions like eavesdropping and even the miniature airbase for the reconnaissance drones.
In the case of war, those systems might be equipped with explosives and poison gas like VX. Those attack drones can deliver to the area by using aircraft or satellites, and they can use those boxes for support. When they notice some important target like enemy radar, those bugs can cut the wires of that system. And they can terminate enemy commanders. Those drones can make serious damages for aircraft and high-tech productions if they can damage the microcircuits of those things. And if they slip in the ammunition factory, will the results be devastating.
