You’re really naive. Bloomberg is one of the better news outlets, and I would put no weight on Supermicro’s denials, as they have a pattern of lying about financials and have a sweepingly broad supply chain vulnerable to sabotage and counterfeiting.

The Federal government and some banks hire companies to do supply chain integrity inspection and management. They find bad parts all of the time, especially in the channel.

There’s a pretty obvious reason why they wouldn’t want to talk about a detected case of foreign espionage embedded in servers after publishing.
