Just to throw some extra info into the mix, Australia's media [1] is reporting that the Australian Department of Defence and Bureau of Meteorology also had contracts with Supermicro. The current Australian Defence Department statement: A Defence spokesperson said the department was "aware of recent media reporting involving the unauthorised implantation of microchips within servers, used by United States corporations, in the production of Supermicro microchips". "Defence will continue to work with the ACSC [Australian Cyber Security Centre] to continue to monitor the situation," the spokesperson said. And from the Bureau of Meteorology: The Bureau of Meteorology said it does not comment on security matters.
