It's in the article:
"The illicit chips could do all this because they were connected to the baseboard management controller..."
- techntoke 8y agoCan you quote a single source from that article, or is it all anonymous?
- enraged_camel 8y agoThat is also in the article... "17 people confirmed the manipulation of Supermicro’s hardware and other elements of the attacks. The sources were granted anonymity because of the sensitive, and in some cases classified, nature of the information."
- techntoke 8y agoSo not a single source. Might as well be going to war over invisible weapons of mass destruction. Also, Apple and Amazon both has said they do not agree with these claims. So far this is nothing more than propaganda.
- bsaul 8y agoso you prefer to believe official corporate statements saying they didn’t have security leaks, rather than a news agency with 17 independent sources confirming they had ?? That’s an interesting choice.
- techntoke 8y ago17 independent sources doesn't mean anything. Again, this is the same as the sources that said their were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Companies and government use propaganda all the time, so until you have more information confirming these claims, then it is best to hold off before trying to say that Apple and Amazon denying the claims str proof that they are real.
- roywiggins 8y agoAre you saying Bloomberg made the sources up, or that they exist but are all lying, because they won't go on the record?
- techntoke 8y agoDef possible they are lying. There are a lot of companies competing with white box manufacturers. If you can't name a single source, and you have two major companies saying these claims aren't accurate... then maybe you should hold off before making judgments.
