Bloomberg Wants You To Believe in its Mythical Supermicro Spy Chips Feb 12, 2021 10:11 EST
Remember when Bloomberg claimed that motherboard supplier Supermicro (NASDAQ:SMCI) had Trojan Horse clandestine chips from China planted on its boards that made their way into the servers of some of the world’s top technology companies? Remember when the company’s stock crashed, a Congressional inquiry was called, and then nothing happened? Well, Bloomberg is doubling down on that story and has brought it back with new,
juicy allegations.
Bloomberg says that its new reporting on Supermicro, which doesn’t make many new material claims aside from that the semiconductor subterfuge was at a scale not originally captured by its prior article, and the FBI was actively running a counterintelligence probe on the company, is verified by “more than 50 people from law enforcement, the military, Congress, intelligence agencies and the private sector.”
