Same here. I have four different Supermicro motherboards purchased in May for servers in my home. I'm sure there exist people and organizations in the world capable of putting malicious hardware on one of these such that I can't detect them. But insofar as I've personally examined them and the available evidence from Bloomberg, color me skeptical...
- phil_folrida 8y agoOk now try to patch the BMC, you can actually talk to it with openipmi on local host.
- djsumdog 8y agoI really want to see someone on here with access to one of their recent boards try and report on this. I'd try it, but I sold my last Supermicro board years ago.
- jlgaddis 8y agoTry what? Updating the firmware? I do it every time a new firmware version is released.
- gonesilent 8y agoBack around 2014-2015 supermicro had this bug that would not let you flash the main firmware. Would not happen on every machine maybe 25%. Had to derack and send a number of machines back.
- throwawaymath 8y agoI'm familiar with OpenIPMI (I use it for remote fan control a lot) but I'm not clear on what exactly you want me to try?
- rgbrenner 8y agoYou purchased servers from 2013-2015 in May? As in used servers?
- a3n 8y agoAre your Ethernet shells metal, as described in the article, or plastic which the article describes as normal?
- angry_octet 8y agoThis metal shells rubbish is a key indicator that the whole story is bogus. Metal is completely normal.
