Note that Facebook and Apple have confirmed that they had heard about and actually saw, respectively, security issues with compromised software updates from Supermicro - it's only the chip story they're denying. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-the-software-side-of-china-s-supply-chain-attack https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-04/the-big-h...
- smsm42 8y agoThere's a huge diff between "your web management software is buggy" (pretty much every web management software is kinda crappy and significant number probably would dissolve like wet paper under a serious security audit) and "your motherboard has extra chip which grants full hw level access to outside parties". The former is completely routine and happens nearly every time anybody bothers to do a security audit. The latter, if true, is one of the biggest stories of the decade.
