Saying "vulnerabilities purposely planted" just means that their servers may have had bugs like heartbleed in the past.

- mehrdadn 8y agoThanks, that makes sense for vulnerabilities. But what about "malicious chips"? I have such a hard time ignoring the fact that it modifies that phrase too. Should I be?
- marissandria 8y agoIt "modifies that phrase too", in what sense? Ostensibly the only way an unknown chip could be introduced into a data-center in such a way, and of all of them Apple's, would be with malicious intent, surely?
- Senderman 8y agoI don't think "malicious chips" was a quote from Apple - Apple's letter mentioned "the existence of malware or other malicious activity." adding "Nothing was ever found." - which is pretty broad. Every webstory is quoting that same excerpt - if the entire letter was printed somewhere, I can't find it.
